Take the Senses Challenge
By: Caroline Latham
This is a very fun link to a series of 20 timed puzzles put together by the BBC. It should take you about 10 minutes or less to complete.
You also might enjoy their Interactive Brain which allows you to explore both the structure and function of your brain. The functions will help you learn what areas of your brain you are exercising when you do or feel certain things.
They map out for you: anger, consciousness, disgust, happiness, language understanding, movement, self awareness, smell, taste, touch, breathing, coordination, fight or flight, hearing, long-term episodic memory, sadness, self control, speech production, thirst and hunger, and vision.
Enjoy!
i’m looking for mind teasers or games to challange the minds of my dinner club consisting of males and females ages 65+. Are there any on DVDs?
Dolly,
Offhand I don’t know any brain teaser or puzzle DVDs. There are lots of books and we have many teasers on this site, but I don’t know any DVDs.
You might want to look at our Exercise Your Brain DVD and see if it works for your needs. It is an 80 minute class on brain fitness with examples of how you can exercise your various mental muscles. You can watch a preview at the link I gave you.
Sounds like a fun dinner party!
