Play Games
Try strategy games. You can play with others in person or online by yourself. Fun games include Scrabble, euchre, chess, bridge, and more elaborate games like Agricola and Cities & Knights.
Games that require more strategy, as opposed to the luck of the draw, may be more effective in challenging your brain.
Read a Book
Books are everywhere. Now that there’s so much available online, you don’t even have to leave the comfort of your own home.
If you enjoy reading, try something that’s a bit different from your typical genre. For example, if you enjoy romance books, try reading a book about gardening or a how-to article on financial planning. You can also consider joining a book club if you need encouragement and accountability to continue reading.
