Fun memory games

We all worry about our memories - and some of the early scientific studies that have been done on Alzheimer's patients shows that you can delay the onset of the disease by keeping your mind active.

So I like playing different mind solving puzzles, or strategy games with my children. It also keeps their minds thinking of different scenarios. We play some of the classic games- Scrabble, Monopoly (We don't like that because my wife always seems to win there), and Card games progressive Rummy, and Michigan Rummy. We will also sometimes play team chess, which is very interesting.

But this web site came across my email box from Kim Komando's cool site of the day newsletter, and I found it a bit of fun, so I thought I would share.

But be careful, and set a timer! It can really soak up a lot of your time.
