Exercise Your Brain! Just like your body, your mind needs a regular workout as well. Think about why we do weights at the gym; we work muscles that are not active during our day-to-day lives. Similarly, challenging your brain with mental activities keeps you sharp.

For each set of terms below, find a third word that is connected or associated with both of these two words.
For example: the first pair is PIANO and LOCK. The answer is KEY. The word key is connected with both the word piano and the word lock: there are KEYS on a piano and you use a KEY to lock doors….
Key is what is called a homograph: a word that has more than one meaning but is always spelled the same.
