Juegos mentales: actividades divertidas para ejercitar el cerebro y reducir la edad cerebral

This 5-week flex course will cover several fun brain games. This course will be filled with hands-on learning!  Each week students will move up to a new level of brain games.

Modern-day neuroscience has established that our brain is a very plastic organ. New neurons continue to develop throughout our lives (neuroplasticity). We can harness the powers of neuroplasticity and protect and enhance our minds through brain workouts.

This course will include a brain assessment, trivia, visual searches, sudoku, computation, practicing language, crossword puzzles, word jigsaws, spatial visualization, word ladders, rhyming words, and more.  I'm excited to begin a journey of discovering brain exercises with your learner!

Students will collaborate through the Outschool platform through various games.

A Nearpod will be provided for each week of the course. There will be multiple interactive activities throughout the lesson so students can synthesize what they are learning and keep track of it. I will ask students to share their work with me and/or the class and give them feedback on this work.
