[For Seniors] Popular Brain Training & Recreation Quiz (11–20)
Proverb Quiz

This is a quiz where part of a proverb is hidden and turned into a fill-in-the-blank question.
Think about what fits and give your answer.
Even simple proverbs can slip your mind unexpectedly.
Even if you don’t know the answer, the act of thinking helps activate your brain, so let’s tackle the difficult ones too and turn them into training.
Guess the word by prediction

It’s a quiz where you write the letters starting from the tail end—toward the end of the word—and guess what the word is.
I’m sure lots of words will come up that aren’t the correct answer, and that’s fine too! It could also be fun to try it while writing on a whiteboard.
It’s a perfect quiz for brain training.
Public Signs Quiz

This is an educational “Public Sign Quiz.” We often glance at public signs without much thought, but in an emergency, can you quickly determine what they mean? A few questions will appear—try to solve them and aim for a perfect score! It’s a good idea to memorize all the prohibition signs for your own safety, too!
inverted character

This is a quiz where letters are flipped and you guess the original character.
At first, the letters are flipped left to right, but the difficulty ramps up, and they’ll be flipped vertically as well.
Some katakana can be confusing, right? Still, if you think it through carefully, you’ll figure it out—so take your time and give it a try.
palindrome

Palindromes—you’ve probably read or made them when you were a child, right? Let’s play with palindromes.
A lot of hiragana characters are displayed in a jumbled order, and the task is to rearrange them to form a palindrome.
If it’s difficult, pause the video and take your time to think it through and give it a try.
Ten Times Quiz

Didn’t you do this when you were a kid? It’s that trick question where someone says, ‘Say pizza ten times,’ then points to your elbow and asks, ‘What’s this?’ They turn it into a question that’s designed to make you say the wrong word.
Saying it out loud just makes your head even more full of that word, right? (laughs)

Shadow Play Story: Silhouette Quiz

It’s a silhouette quiz where you look at shadow pictures and guess what they are.
Many of the questions can be identified at a glance, making it easy for children and seniors to enjoy.
Is the theme sports? It looks like it features equipment used in sports that everyone knows well.
Since we usually recognize things in color, we can get thrown off when they’re in black and white, but if you stay calm and think it through, the answer should come into view.
Pay close attention to the finer details of the silhouettes and try to figure out the answers.
