Vertical and Horizontal Fill-in-the-Blank Quiz

@thinkbodyjapan

Prevent running out of activity ideas! Whiteboard activity ideas!CaregivingCaregivertranslation

♫ Original song – TBJ / Care • Rehabilitation • Nursing – TBJ / Care • Rehabilitation • Nursing

Let’s try a fill-in-the-letter quiz on a whiteboard.

We’ll write three-letter words in a horizontal row on the board.

Leave the middle letter blank, and have the seniors guess it.

By thinking of different letters that could fit in the blank, it becomes a brain-training activity.

The key is to make sure that when you fill in the blank letters and read across, they form words.

Everyone’s suggested answers can be correct, and another single word will also emerge, giving the seniors a sense of accomplishment.

A crossword featuring the flavors of autumn

[Today's Rec] "Tuesday, September 6" An easy indoor recreation using a whiteboard: "Crossword Puzzle (Autumn Flavors)"

This is a recreational activity featuring a crossword puzzle themed around autumn flavors.

Prepare the grid in advance, provide across and down clues, and have participants derive the answers.

Incorporating English words or fun facts into the clues adds an element that invites deeper thought and can help stimulate the brain.

Questions that feel obvious yet hard to recall—like “a sweet fruit harvested in autumn,” which would be “persimmon”—can liven up the atmosphere.

Setting a time limit creates a sense of tension, and a team-based, cooperative format is also recommended.

After the correct answers are revealed, the conversation can naturally expand to topics about each ingredient, prompting memories and impressions of eating them, making it a great opportunity for social interaction.

Association Quiz ~Food Edition~

[Elderly Care Recreation] Association Quiz — Food Edition — [10 Questions Total]

Let me introduce a game called “Association Quiz,” where you guess the food in question using three hints.

As the hints are revealed, the identity of the food gradually becomes clearer, but those with sharp intuition might reach the answer before the final hint.

You can write the questions on a whiteboard or read them aloud so anyone can join, and it works well for both small and large groups.

It’s also great fun to play while chatting with the person next to you—saying things like, “What could it be?”—so I highly recommend it.

Magical Banana

[Viral] We tried playing the Magical Banana game with all the members and burst into laughter lol

Let your imagination grow from the prompt and give your answers! Here are some ideas for the game “Magical Banana.” It’s a simple game where you chant “Magical Banana,” clap your hands, and keep making associations.

Try to avoid using the same words as much as possible, and take on the challenge with a slow rhythm.

For example, if the person sitting in front of you says, “When you say banana, I think fruit,” you would answer, “When you say fruit, I think apple,” and then the next person might say, “When you say apple, I think red,” and so on, as the prompt changes and goes around.

Give it a try while expanding your imagination!
