I’ve been working as a certified care worker for 17 years. I’m Nanaka, a caregiving web writer. I decided to pursue this profession because I wanted a job that would help people. Having worked in day care for many years, I’ve experienced a wide variety of recreational activities. Exercise set to music, in particular, always created a cheerful atmosphere and was very well received. I’d be delighted to continue delivering writing that resonates with readers through caregiving-related articles. Thank you for your support.

An odd-one-out quiz recommended for seniors’ brain training.

It’s a quiz where you identify the item that doesn’t belong from a set of words or pictures.

While solving the quiz, the brain retains purposeful information obtained through the eyes and ears, and processes it by linking those pieces together.

As a result, the brain is activated, which can help prevent dementia.

At the same time, it trains concentration and decision-making, making it a popular activity at day-care services and senior facilities.

Be sure to enjoy it together with everyone!

Among relay race, tug-of-war, cheering competition, and cooking practice, which one is the odd one out?

The answer to “Which one doesn’t belong among relay race, tug-of-war, cheering contest, and cooking practice?” is cooking practice! Once you realize that the relay race, tug-of-war, and cheering contest are sports day events, the answer comes easily, though you might hesitate for a moment.

If you guide them so that the word “sports day” comes to mind—by asking something like, “You did all of these in elementary or middle school, right? During what kind of occasion did you do them?”—they’ll reach the answer more easily.

And you might just end up getting lively chatter going about childhood memories or your grandkids’ sports days!

Among Yukio Hashi, Hideki Saijo, and Kazuo Funaki, who is not part of the “Gosanke” (the Big Three)? The hint is the period when each was active: the Gosanke are generally associated with making a big impact around the mid-1960s.

The answer is Hideki Saijo.

The Gosanke refers to Yukio Hashi, Kazuo Funaki, and Teruhiko Saigō.

Hideki Saijo was mainly active in the 1970s and, alongside Hiromi Go and Goro Noguchi—who were active in the same era—was known as part of the “Shin Gosanke” (the New Big Three).
