I volunteered to show some retired folk (generally aged over 70) how to use a PC to surf the Web. They like amazon, yahoo, flight booking sites, senior & healthcare, but what about fun sites?
Know of any good crossword, puzzles or hobby/craft sites that are really straightforward for first-time users of the internet? Free & don't need registration to view?
One guy contributed a site about steam-train excursions here in Ireland; which was great for some of the guys. But he signed up because he was already a member of that society. I need to find them interesting approachable websites - hey, if they want porn, they can find that easily, but mostly they want a friendly-to-total-newbies site that won't take their money.

No, on a daily basis is that for me. and that i do no longer ought to rigidity approximately what day of the week it relatively is, I relatively have a clock that shows the time and the day of the week. I only must be confident to alter the battery two times a 300 and sixty 5 days. and because I stay in a 24/7 city, i will often head for the save on each occasion i am going with. Pharmacy continues to be locked in a schedule so I must be careful of that one. My brother only retired, yet he continues to be locked in a schedule of a sort. He lives in a community the place the sidewalks roll up at 5 pm, so if he needs to circulate to the save he has to get there early and no Sundays.

Reminisce magazine also has a website. Perfect for the over 70 crowd.

Also, take them to Google Images and have them type in something fun, like say 1952 Chevrolet or covered bridge,
and then they get to see good pictures

Oh, and here is a fun page about the 1940's on the Eisenhower Library website:

Try Yahooligans. Playing against kids will keep them young.

Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy have websites that I am sure they can all relate to which will let them play the games.
