[For Seniors] Today’s Recommended Quiz: Daily Brain-Training Quiz! (21–30)
Respect for the Aged Day Quiz 1
What color is considered good for gifts given to celebrate one’s 60th birthday (kanreki)?
- yellow
- red
See the answer
red
Red is associated with warding off evil and misfortune. The sexagenary cycle of the calendar completes one full rotation in 60 years. When a person turns 60, they return to the year of their birth, and red became customary to symbolize returning to a “baby” state. Many people probably have a strong image of the red celebratory vest (chanchanko), don’t they?
Respect for the Aged Day Quiz ②
What is the name used to refer to the age of 80 in terms of longevity?
- eightieth birthday (celebration of turning 80)
- seventieth birthday
See the answer
eightieth birthday (celebration of turning 80)
Sanju is a celebration of longevity for people who turn 80 years old by the traditional age-counting method. It is also known as “Hachijūju.” The origin of the term comes from the fact that when “80” (八十) is written vertically, it resembles the character for “umbrella” (傘). With average life expectancy increasing nowadays, the number of people being celebrated has likely grown.
Daily Life Quiz 1
Is gasoline cheaper in the morning or at midday?
- morning
- noon
See the answer
morning
They say gasoline has a higher density at lower temperatures. Since gasoline is a liquid, it expands when the temperature is high, lowering its density. Because mornings are cooler, gasoline of the same volume has a higher density and therefore contains more energy.
Marathon Quiz
There is a Marathon Day in September.
It is said to originate from a battle that took place in a foreign country on September 12 in 490 BCE.
Among older adults, some may have run marathons in the past or enjoyed watching marathon broadcasts and cheering.
A familiar marathon quiz for seniors would likely be exciting when the answers are revealed.
Because it’s a well-known sport, adding a bit of trivia could make it even more engaging.
We hope that even seniors who find it difficult to run can enjoy marathons through quizzes.
A must-know! Health Quiz
To live healthily day by day, it’s important not only to be aware of your own condition but also to understand how the body works.
This quiz is designed to help you learn about the human body’s mechanisms and use that knowledge as a stepping stone toward a healthier life.
By focusing on things we rarely pay attention to in daily life—such as heartbeat, blood, and changes in body temperature—let’s think carefully about how our bodies operate.
If you understand how the body works, you’ll be more likely to notice changes, which can help you detect minor issues early.
White Day Fun Trivia Quiz
March 14 is White Day.
How about enjoying some trivia related to White Day with older adults? Some seniors may have given or received chocolates on Valentine’s Day, and some are excited to spend White Day in March.
Let’s make this lovely event even more fun with a trivia quiz.
It’s said that each White Day return gift carries its own meaning.
You can create trivia questions with a bit of creativity, such as about the origins of White Day.
Enjoy a delightful time with interesting trivia!
Hinamatsuri Spot-the-Difference Quiz
How about a spot-the-difference game that’s effective as brain training for seniors? Here’s a “Hinamatsuri (Girls’ Day) Spot-the-Difference” activity we recommend for March.
In spot-the-difference, you temporarily memorize the correct picture, right? By using that correct picture as a reference to find the differences, it’s said to be effective for training memory, observation, and concentration.
You can find spot-the-difference pictures online or prepare printed images—one of the nice things about this quiz is that it doesn’t require much effort.
Of course, you can also create a large spot-the-difference illustration in advance and put it up on a whiteboard or similar surface for everyone to enjoy.
