Question: Good straightforward uncluttered websites for retired folk?

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.
Looking good, thanks for some great ideas. The games sites look good for them – know any other games sites?
