Can't find post on games to help with cognition

[greaterexp]

Would you all please remind me of good sources for "brain games" to help with memory and cognition? A relative is having problems, but his doctor did not offer any suggestions for specific sites. I know we have often discussed them here.

You all are wonderful and patient!

Memo Match it's a memory game, by flipping the cards over. It's an easy starter memory game. I hate it, cause I stink at it!🤣😂🤗💕🌠

🤣🤣🤣

[greaterexp in reply to Jesmcd2]

Thank you!

[greaterexp in reply to Jesmcd2]

I always dread it when my grandchildren want to play that when I visit. I'd rather watch them! I'm awful at it, as I am with most games that require any memory.

[Sandydemop in reply to Jesmcd2]

hi Jes, how are you feeling these days? i tried that matching game. It was hard!

[falalalala]

I do jigsaw puzzles online.

[greaterexp in reply to falalalala]

Thank you!

[falalalala in reply to greaterexp]

You're welcome

[greaterexp in reply to falalalala]

I tried it myself, and it was fun!

[falalalala in reply to greaterexp]

I play for the noise it makes when a piece clicks into place.

🤣

[greaterexp in reply to falalalala]

I found that very satisfying, too! It's like snapping bubble wrap!

[falalalala in reply to greaterexp]

Yep!There needs to be a noise for when you put a piece in the wrong spot.

[greaterexp in reply to falalalala]

That hurts!

"There's no volume like low volume"-Ethel Merman

[greaterexp in reply to falalalala]

I used to have one speed for walking - lightening. Now it's more like a slow/variable/wobbly/drunk woman.

[falalalala in reply to greaterexp]

You too?

I used to get complaints about it.

My how things change!

[greaterexp in reply to falalalala]

My husband tells everyone he's almost glad about my MS because he can now keep up with me. I chuckle weakly at that remark.

[falalalala in reply to greaterexp]

Rollerskates will get you back up to speed.

[greaterexp in reply to falalalala]

I can't even stand still in roller skates without vomiting. I do, however, have a talent; I don't sing like Ethel Mermen. (At least, I think that's a talent.)

[falalalala in reply to greaterexp]

That's a talent & a blessing to others

😅I still have my rollerskates.I wasn't too shabby.

Rollerblades were a bit different for me.

I had to hit a car to stop.

I wonder if a skateboard strapped to each foot would be better for balance?

👍

[greaterexp in reply to falalalala]

I’d need a stand up walker fore and aft. Would you like me to hold up a stop sign as you approach cars?

[falalalala in reply to greaterexp]

Just hold up a car & I'll do it.

I play games on my phone. basically anything that makes u think will work

[greaterexp in reply to rjoneslaw]

Thank you!

I’m great with words (ex. Scrabble) but bad with #s so I recently added a sudoku app. It’s not really math but great for visual spatial, logic, and memory. By the way I am not a fan of sudoku but I think it helps.

[greaterexp in reply to erash]

Thank you!

[Tazmanian]

I play "sudoku" and "words with friends " both of which can be found on line

[greaterexp in reply to Tazmanian]

Thank you!

I used to play games on Lumosity.com but you need to have subscription.

[greaterexp in reply to carolek572]

Thank you!

[ck722]

Learn to play guitar and sing along

[NanaCC in reply to ck722]

I loveThis idea

[ck722 in reply to NanaCC]

Or just sing. Find a friend and try out some harmony. Real fun and challenging.

You are my sunshine.....

[NanaCC in reply to ck722]

Picked up used acoustic guitar yesterday now to find good online teachers

[ck722 in reply to NanaCC]

Learn how to play D, A &G then use a capo to move the chords into your vocal range. Never mind how you sound, just have fun!

[NanaCC in reply to ck722]

Got it thanks for info. I’m excited maybe tonight

[ck722 in reply to NanaCC]

A million songs can be played with three three-finger chords.

[greaterexp in reply to NanaCC]

I'll remind him about that, too. Thank you!

[greaterexp in reply to ck722]

He plays piano a tiny bit. I may encourage him to try again. He was a dentist and had little time for any hobby.

[NanaCC]

I am a Words with Friend fiend. Plus side I play my aunts and uncles and other family members that I don’t get to see often enough.

[greaterexp in reply to NanaCC]

Thank you!

The best brain exercise that I have found is LUMOSITY.COM the program has speciic programs to improve cognative, logic, improve task abilities etc. a subscription cost about $70 a year but tracks your improvement an allows you to compare your performence to national standards. I take 15-20 minutes every morning on the computer I certainly believe it helps me. I believe there is a free trial but not really sure have been enrolled for over 5 years check it out. Peter

Brain IQ is the only subscription game researched and proven by science to help with cognition. I also like the music idea. Music is held all over the brain. Memory, hearing, learning, emotions, everything. I play piano (well I try anyway)

[hairbrain4]

I play crossword puzzles & Sudoku

[sashaming1]

Wordsearch games.

[cljones]

I do sudoku. I have also done some word games where you are given letters and have to make words from them as many as you can.
