Some examples to help get you started!

My son moved to Germany, and I take German classes so I can feel a little more comfortable with the language when I visit him for the holidays.

I like to take quizzes and watch videos about topics I’m interested in like “what do you know about long-term care” from the Rewards earning page.

I play words games daily, crosswords, word scrambles, and complete quizzes. I also like to answer quizzes on the AARP website where I learn and challenge myself with each experience. I read books and I still work with young adults daily (who challenge me all the time when it comes to navigating technology). I also try to walk daily and eat healthy.

Every day I use Google Search to review a research study or results summary about interested topics such "the feedback fallacy", "the pursuit of happiness" and "wisdom scale" results. Yoga and spiritual meditation help me to feed and stimulate brain function. Volunteering in ways that encourage me to be other-minded about someone else's life condition. Brisk power walking helps to clear my brain of stressors. Lastly, playing smartphone games like CrosswordJam, WordCollect and Solitare keep me competing with myself, having fun and expanding my vocabulary. Beverly Odon

To keep my brain active, I do games dealing with numbers like Sudoku and Ken Ken -- but with a slight twist. I would turn the games upside down so that not only do I have to READ the printed numbers upside down, but I would also WRITE my numbers in the same upside down format.

I downloaded an app to practice Spanish. I had taken four years of it in school and am out of practice. It’s amazing how much I’ve learned!

Every day I do the free games on Luminosity and play the crossword puzzles and trivia games on the AARP website. I also complete a Spanish lesson online (which I started during the pandemic so I’m now up to 816 consecutive days). I was hearing so much about Pickleball that I sought out a class to learn it & I’m now a big fan.
