What to do
Only Connect is an intellectual game show hosted by Victoria Coren on BBC4. One of the games that teams face is the Connection Wall.
You are faced with a board of sixteen clues, and you have to sort them into four sets of four – all of which have a connection. (For example, in the screenshot with this blog, circle, district, jubilee and northern are all lines on the London Underground).
You only have two minutes to complete the grid and name the connections, but at least you can see the correct answers at the end if you don't manage to make all the connections.

Why it works
As well as providing a nice break from what you are doing and giving you some fun, this quiz is a great mind-stretcher. Our unconscious mind is actually very good at finding connections between random things, and this game helps us exercise that part of our mind. And, every time we make a connection we are literally connecting the neurons in our brain – all of which is good news for our concentration, creativity and long term mental health.
Plus – when you eventually win the full ten points, it feels like such a great achievement!!
Variations
You can play along live during the broadcast of the show – see if you can beat the team of brainboxes who are playing in the studio.
Continuing
Just a word of warning – this game becomes addictive and you could find yourself spending a lot longer than ten minutes!
TenMinutesForMe is a blog dedicated to ideas on how to feel good about yourself and your world!
