Brain games make learning fun!

For the foreseeable future, schools have all but shut down entirely in order to protect students, teachers, and their families from the spread of COVID-19. During the lengthy stay-at-home measures made necessary by this pandemic, many parents have had difficulty keeping their kids on track with their education. Just because schools are closed doesn’t mean that there’s no homework to be done, yet parents finding themselves in a teaching role they haven’t experienced before might feel at a loss.

If this sounds familiar, we’re here to assure you that you’re not alone.

We’ve got more than just assurance, however. How about a little advice, too?

Fun and games for the brain.

Sometimes, all a child needs to get excited about learning is a fun little incentive—that's where brain games come in. Games for the brain make it easier to enjoy learning and therefore to keep up with studies even when typical schooling routines have been disrupted.

Examples of brain games that your child might enjoy include:

• Memory games to challenge the mind and improve memory;
• Brain training games such as word games that can improve vocabulary and spelling;
• Musical learning games that incorporate song, dance, or instruments into the learning process;
• Computer games or mobile games that engage children with the temptation of high scores to reward their learning;
• Games that enhance reading comprehension and more conceptual learning.

These games may come in the form of books, electronics, board games, and more.
