Description

Get ready to flex, tone, and boost the brain with Brain Flexers! Science has revealed how much our brains can grow and change in response to learning throughout life, even when a person is experiencing memory loss. Regardless of age, everyone has the ability to change their brain for the better! This mind-stimulating book offers tools and resources to strengthen mental functioning. Targeted brain fitness activities work to exercise many areas of cognition, such as memory, attention, focus, visual-spatial processing, and sequencing. These activities are fun—and appropriately challenging! And just like any good workout, the benefits increase the more you do! Organized by theme—Warm-ups, Sharpening Your Sense, Language, Geography, Creativity, History and Culture, Logic and Sequence, Music—each section comes equipped with ready-to-use worksheets of activities and corresponding answer sheets that include tips and advice for facilitators. From Conversation Starters to Scrambled Quotes to Doodling Fun to Natural Wonders of the World, you’ll find in this book activities, trivia, and games that entertain while stimulating the mind and sharpening the senses. Useful with groups as well as one-on-one, the activities are also designed to promote discussion, reminiscence, and socializing—another important component to brain fitness. Brain Flexers is perfect for activity staff as well as individuals with early memory loss and their family members. Discover the laughter, conversation, and friendships that come from flexing the brain, and facilitate a positive brain workout designed for a fit and ever-changing mind.
