mind games...


The benefits of taking proactive measures to keep brain activity vital as one grows older are well documented. One engaging way to develop and enhance memory, problem solving and several other key functions is to solve puzzles and challenge specially designed “brain games” that target brain function enhancement in one way or another. There are several available portals on the internet that have these games available for players of all ages. Some charge monthly or yearly fees to play long term, but they are comprehensive and allow players to communicate within the platform.



A similar no cost option is found within the AARP web offerings. They invite potential gamers to“have fun working your memory and problem-solving and language skills with these new online games. Adjust the game to your skill level and see how you rate next to top players.” Some featured game offerings are “Entangled Figures” designed to “keep your brain in shape by identifying elements of a jumbled object” and The Squeaking Mouse” that “strengthen your visual and auditory memory by matching animals with their calls.” Many of the AARP games are offered free online, but there is a section of games available to those who have chosen to join AARP's membership at $16.00 per year.

and enjoy the work out!
