[For Seniors] Fun Brain Training! Lively Whiteboard Activities

Let’s sing ‘Spring Has Come’ using the Japanese syllabary (gojūon).

[Whiteboard Rec] First Half: Spring Has Come

This is a game that takes advantage of the fact that the children’s song “Haru ga Kita” can be divided into five-syllable segments from beginning to end when you sing it.

You change the lyrics of “Haru ga Kita” and sing through the Japanese syllabary, a-i-u-e-o order.

Once you can sing it smoothly, next try singing it in reverse, reading the syllabary backwards.

It’s a bit difficult, isn’t it? To make it easier to understand, let’s write the 50 sounds on the whiteboard.

Color Game

[Senior Recreation] Easy Activities Using a Whiteboard [Day Service Recreation, Brain Training, Preventive Care]

How about a color game as a whiteboard activity? For this game, prepare papers with color words written on them.

The key is to make the kanji different from the actual color of the text.

Instead of reading the words on the papers attached to the whiteboard, ask the participating seniors to say the color of the letters.

It may seem easy, but it actually trips people up and often leads to lots of laughs.

Because you see with your eyes and think with your head, it’s effective for reflexes and brain training.

Start by letting them answer slowly and thoughtfully, then gradually pick up the pace.

June association brain training

[June Recommended Rec] Two Patterns of Association Brain Training Games [Whiteboard Brain Training]

Let’s try an association game using a whiteboard or sketchbook! Here are some brain-training association game ideas related to June.

What comes to mind when you think of June? First, write down your ideas on a whiteboard, sketchbook, or notebook.

Next, choose one word from your list, and then think of other words that start with the same initial letter as the word you chose.

If you specify the number of letters, the difficulty increases and it gets more exciting.

Give it a try!

Word search with lyrics about Mt. Fuji

Word search game #shorts #dayservice #nursingcare #Aizen-en

Let’s enjoy some brain training using familiar children’s songs! This time, we’ll use the lyrics of “Mount Fuji.” We’ll make a fill-in-the-blank activity with parts of the lyrics missing, and have participants think about what words go there.

Instead of just recalling the lyrics, they will search for words from prepared letter cards and assemble them.

Finding the correct answer gives a real sense of accomplishment.

Using well-known songs familiar to seniors makes the activity approachable and can also lead into singing.

It’s a fun way to help prevent cognitive decline, so it’s recommended as a recreation activity in senior care facilities.

Word Search: Fruits Edition

[Brain Training & Early Learning] Word Search: Fruits Edition – 7 Questions in Total

Amid the letters scattered across a 6-by-6 grid, there are hidden names of fruits.

The names can be arranged in three ways—vertically, horizontally, and diagonally—and some words must be read from right to left or bottom to top, so read carefully to find the correct combinations.

Each puzzle has a time limit, which can make you feel rushed, but it’s important to stay calm.

The difficulty is a bit high, but you can try as many times as you need until you find them.

In addition to concentration, this also develops thinking skills and word retrieval, and may help prevent cognitive decline.
