ACTIVITIES
Let’s get the party started:
Fun games you can play virtually!
Studies demonstrate that card games, puzzles, and board games are good mental stimuli and help promote brain health. This is especially true for older adults. Games also stimulate the immune system and can trigger the use of visualization, memory and sequencing skills. As a value added to the Healthy Living Virtual Expo we compiled a variety of virtual games you can play with family and friends.
Bingo Bingo is always a crowd pleaser. Go to Myfreebingocards.com to choose a game. You can call the game yourself or let the program do the work. Remember to include prizes — that’s half the fun.
Scattergories This fun game can be played by people of all ages. Go to scattergoriesonline.net and send the link to everyone participating. There is one letter and five categories. Come up with the most number of words in 60 seconds and you win.
Most Likely To… This fun game can be played by people of all ages. Have fun with your friends with this drinking game (but doesn’t have to be alcohol…).
