- WORD GAMES—Crossword Puzzles, Word Searches, Brain Teasers and Sudoku are simple ways to improve memory.
- MUSIC—Have you tried to play an instrument? Learn the harmonica, Bongos or Spoons. Maybe learn to Yodel!
- GARDENING—Plant flowers or a few vegetables in containers. It’s relaxing and gets you out in the sunshine.
- COOKING/BAKING—Go through your cook book or make a family recipe. Now is the time to create your own dish or try a new recipe.
- EXERCISES/STRETCHING—Have you tried Chair Exercising? Sit in a chair and lift your right foot off the floor. Do alternate legs. Do arm curls, roll your shoulders and back twists. Toe tapping like the football players while sitting is a great exercise for leg strengthening.
