Brain exercises that can, and will stimulate different areas of the cortex. Running with your fingers like spider legs whilst you lift your hands above your head. Doing this targets the hippocampus emotions area

Folding arms and asking the residents to swap the folding position each turn engages either side of the brain with each change of arm position and this exercises requires focus from the resident. The residents enjoy the challenge of these group exercises
