## Prompt

```text
Create a week of brain games for an older adult.

**Who it's for:** [me / my parent / a resident group]
**Age and interests:** [e.g. "82, loves gardening, old movies, and baseball"]
**Abilities to plan around:** [e.g. "poor eyesight", "arthritis in hands", "mild memory changes", "hard of hearing"]
**Format:** [printed sheets / spoken aloud / done together on a call / group activity]
**Time per day:** [e.g. 15-20 minutes]

For each of 7 days, give 2-3 short activities, mixing:
- Word games (fill in the missing word of a familiar saying, word association, categories).
- Memory and recall (reminiscence questions tied to their interests and era).
- Number puzzles (simple sums, patterns, price comparisons).
- Visual or logic puzzles described in words (spot the odd one out, sequences).
- A social or conversation prompt to share with someone.

Rules:
- Make it enjoyable, not a test. Start easy and include a "stretch" option.
- Use respectful, adult content. Never childish themes or tone.
- Large-print layout suggestions if printing (font size, spacing).
- Include answers at the end of each day.

Add a note: brain games are good fun and good company, but they aren't a medical treatment. If you notice new or worsening confusion or memory problems, talk to a doctor.
