[For Seniors] Let's Have Fun with a Two-Option Trivia Quiz!

In recreational activities at nursing care facilities and similar settings, you may sometimes do quizzes.

“Thinking” through quizzes stimulates the brain and helps activate it, so they’re recommended as brain training for older adults.

By retrieving answers from memory, not only memory but also attention and judgment are cultivated, which in turn can help prevent dementia or slow its progression.

What’s more, with the “two-choice trivia quiz” introduced here, you can gain new knowledge while thinking in a quiz format.

Two-choice questions are easier for older adults to answer, so it’s likely to be lively and engaging.

Be sure to try using it in recreational activities.
