The fish-finding game played as a recreation activity for older adults is always a big hit.

It’s easy to enjoy not only for those who love fishing, but also for complete beginners.

The game involves placing various fish on a table and catching them with a rod.

A staff member calls out the name of a fish on the table, and the older adults look for it.

Because it requires split-second decisions, it helps develop their powers of observation.

Through this game, older adults can learn fish names, and it also serves as brain training, so it’s highly recommended.
