Celebrate America’sBirthday
Members of the SecondContinental Congress adopted thefinal draft of the Declaration ofIndependence on July 4, 1776.
In the years following theRevolutionary War, July Fourthwould be marked with speeches,military events, parades andfireworks.
In 1941, Congress declared JulyFourth a federal holiday.
Ask your grandchildren howthey plan to celebrate the Fourthof July. Tell them how youcelebrated at their age. Mostmunicipalities do not allowpeople to set off their ownfireworks, but it used to be acommon practice.
Share with your grandchildrenspecial memories you have of theholiday: potluck picnics, baseballgames or a trip to the beach.Maybe you won a watermeloneating contest!

Mind Exercise Gamesfor Seniors
The brain is a complex organ that,like other muscles in the body,
elderly seniors need to keepstimulated by exercising the brainwith games and crafts in order to
enhance the growth anddevelopment of new nerve cellsand neural function. Exercising
the brain helps:• Reduce loss of gray matter
(the nuts and bolts ofmemory)
• Promotes neurogenesis(development of new braincells)
• Improves attention spansand the ability to concentrate
• Strengthens brain synapses(communication pathways)
• Increases blood flow (moreoxygen means healthier cells)
Okay, so who doesn’t want toincrease brain function, regardlessof age? Exercising the brain ormind can be achieved in anumber of ways, including butnot limited to:
• Engage in ‘Thinking Games’– Such as crossword puzzles,Sudoku or chess
• Learn a new skill – This canbe a language, a hobby or aconcept. The morechallenging, the better. Takeup painting. Learn the piano.Take a community class oncrime scene investigation. Dosomething to stimulate,activate and exercise yourbrain to think in new ways.
• Create a scrapbook – thistype of elder activity helpsrebuild memories andmemory skills that may havegotten rusty over the years
• Socialize! – Socializing orgroup activity for the elderlyis a mental activity! Engagein social interactions at leastweekly, more frequentlyif possible
• Laugh! – Laughter really isone of the best medicinesaround. A good belly laughevery day helps to releasedopamine, that ‘feel good’hormone in the brain.Laughter also helps stimulatethe brain and enhanceslearning
