~Albert Einstein
Who couldn’t use a bit of fun right now? Lighten up with these brain ticklers; no paper or pencil required.
Try this activity with a friend and see who comes up with a sentence first. Extra points if it’s extra silly. Think of a four- or five-letter word. Take the letters in chronological order and make up a sentence. Be creative; it’s not as easy as it seems.
EXAMPLE:
STOP Steal The Orange Peel.
APPLE Andy Praised Paul Last Evening.
WATER Watch Alice Take Extra Raisins.
Here are a few words to get you started:
HANG MILK BLACK WATER
How about another game? Pick a five-letter word. Spell it forward then spell it backwards. Keep going with longer words. This is a great activity to do when taking a walk. Brain games combined with physical activity support brain health.
