Word Fill-in-the-Blank Brain Training

Whiteboard rec activities are perfect for recreations at large events and functions.

There are various types of whiteboard recs, but here we’ll introduce a word-fill version.

On the whiteboard, draw circles in rows—first 2, then 3, then 2—adjusting the number of circles up or down for each line.

In the circles, from the top row, insert the A-row of Japanese syllables: a, i, u, and so on.

The position where letters are inserted can be anywhere: at the beginning, the end, or elsewhere.

For example, for words that include the syllable “a,” ask seniors to think of a two-letter word that starts with “a” and have them answer.

The more letters there are, the higher the difficulty.
