12 Mind-Boggling Brain Games To Activate Thinking In Kids

It's 6 o'clock in the evening, your little one wants to watch that cartoon that they just love (and you dread). You just want them to do something a little more productive. What is Doraemon or Peppa Pig going to teach them in the grand scheme of things?
RELATED: Rising Screen Time In Children - How It Affects Them And Ways To Reduce It
So, to keep them distracted, you attempt a "Hey, why don't we read this book?" that results in an utter look of disgust on your child's face and undue defeat on yours.

Well, what if there is a way to fix this problem? What is the solution to make learning and brain development fun?

We have the answers to help you!

There are a variety of games and activities that will keep them away from screens, help develop their thinking, all while keeping them entertained and their minds stimulated: brain games!

Child's play is an integral part of development. Children do not play just to entertain themselves. From the time they are born, they are constantly learning.

When your infant reaches out to you to get the soft toy, they are learning.

They just learned that they can stretch their arm out to touch the toy. They learned that they reach out with their arms to get that toy.

Learning and development are constantly happening, but it's our duty to enable that learning with positive reinforcements.

RELATED: The Simple Technique That Will Make Learning Fun For Your Child

There are various skills acquired while playing brain games for kids.

Analytical Thinking

Comprehension

Spatial Awareness

Conceptual Learning

Lateral and Critical Thinking

Creativity

Problem-Solving

Linguistic enhancement and so much more!

1) Blocks - Build it up!

Best suited for 2-4 year olds

Blocks have been the most basic brain games for kids since the beginning of time and have remained a constant in the 'toy-sphere' - and there's a good reason why.

How To Play:

Expose your child to blocks of different colours and sizes - and that's it! Let your child explore the blocks and let their imagination run wild.

All aspects of your child's development are exposed including shape/colour recognition, creativity, spatial awareness, and so much more.

RELATED: 11 Tips To Foster Creative Thinking In Your Child

You can start off with basic colour and shape blocks for younger children and then upgrade to Lego's or abstract building blocks for older children.

Create simple patterns with blocks, have your toddler try to copy the patterns. This is a simple way to help your child observe patterns.

2) I spy games - I spy... brain games for kids

Best suited for 5-12 year olds

Classic games such as 'I spy with my little eye...', 'Simon Says' and scavenger hunts are fun brain sharpening games.

These types of games help your children to follow instructions, enhance attention, develop language and increases their spatial awareness. Books like "Where's Waldo?" are great for children (and adults!), finding a targeted item in a cluttered environment helps enhance your child's cognitive systems.

Scavenger hunts can be easily customized and can keep your children occupied for hours!

Here's an example of a themed scavenger hunt:

Nature Scavenger Hunt

Find the following items!

3) Tease Your Brain With Puzzles!

Best suited for 2-8 year olds

Puzzles can be fun for the whole family! They are a great way to develop your child's spatial perception, coordination, problem-solving, cognitive skills and fine motor skills- proving puzzles to be an awesome brain development activity.

There are many different kinds of puzzles to choose from: tangrams and board puzzles for younger children, and older children (and adults) can indulge in Scrabble, Sudoku, crosswords, logic puzzles and even Rubik's cubes! At any age, puzzles are sure-fire brain teasers!

DIY puzzle idea: Line up popsicle sticks in a row, stick a copy of a family photograph on the popsicle sticks. Using a cutter, cut between the popsicle sticks. Help your child line the popsicles and recreate the photograph.

4) Obstacle Courses - Jump, skip, run and hop!

Best suited for 2-5 year olds

Obstacle courses are easy to set up brain games for kids. You can set one up right in your living room.

Create simple obstacle courses using household supplies, increase the complexity with creative obstacles for older kids.

Obstacle courses help enhance your child's gross motor, visual perception, motor planning, coordination, problem-solving, critical thinking and language skills.

There are so many versions of obstacle courses! Here are some items you can use to create an obstacle course indoors: pillows, chairs, tables, cushions, sofa, tables, storage boxes, string, paper, balls, hula hoops.

A typical obstacle course would include for you to do the following: something to walk on, crawl under, crawl through, jump, throw, hop, solve a riddle, the possibilities are endless!

You can adapt a simple obstacle course for older children by including puzzles and riddles as obstacles to pass through!

5) Nesting and Stacking Toys - How high can you stack?

Best suited for 2-4 year olds

Don't be fooled by the deceiving simplicity of nesting and stacking toys. These toys are pivotal to early learning development for toddlers.

Nesting toys, albeit very simple, pack a punch as great brain boosters for toddlers.

The motion of stacking and nesting helps your little one's fine motor, spatial and visual perception, balance, sequencing, pre-math skills, and coordination. Who would have thought something so simple could be so beneficial?

Tip: Start off with some basic ring stacking toys and upgrade to stacking toys which include textures, prints or sizes.

Nesting toys are the close cousin of stacking toys. It's important to keep a conversation going while your children play.

"What goes next?" "Does this fit into this cup?" "Why do you think that doesn't fit there?"

6) Removing Tape Game - Brain Booster!

Best suited for 2-4 year olds

Concentration is key while playing most games. It's an important brain building activity to develop on. But, children are so easily distracted. Here's a fun brain sharpening game for the little ones.

All it takes is some masking tape and a flat surface. Use this brain game to help enhance your toddler's concentration. Toddlers love feeling, scratching and pulling, and this activity uses all of those actions!

Tip: On a flat surface, table or notebook, stick strips of masking tape. Make sure the tapes overlap. Demonstrate to your toddler how to remove the tape one at a time by scraping the ends with your fingernails.

Allow your toddler to explore and remove the tape themselves. You can add different coloured tapes (insulation tapes) or textured craft tapes to add more elements to the activity.

7) Pretend Play Kits - Doctor, doctor!

Best suited for 2-6 year olds

Pretend play, role play or make-believe play is a great brain development activity as it plays a critical role in a child's cognitive and social development.

Pretend play helps develop a child's language skills, social and emotional skills, nurtures their imagination and improves understanding of the world around them.

Pretend play is a great time to put out some open-ended questions to your child and stimulate their thought process.

DIY idea: Repurpose some old shelves to create a 'market' area, upcycle cardboard boxes to create washing machines, houses, forts, stove top, anything that your child fancies. Don't forget, it's all pretend - so anything's possible!

8) Improvisation Games - Improv this!

Best suited for 6-12 year olds

Improv games are the most fun brain-boosting games! The benefits of improv games are aplenty!

They help increase confidence, refine brainstorming abilities, improve learning and observation, improve decision-making and spontaneity.
Here's a simple improv game you can play with the whole family:
Improv games are great for the whole family, you can play them anywhere and at any time.

'One-word story'
Each person in the room helps narrate a story but one word at a time! Come up with a quirky story title or theme and let the fun begin! Simplify the game by narrating the story one sentence at a time instead of one word at a time.

9) Storytelling - Once upon a time...

Best suited for 6-12 year olds

Storytelling helps prompt a different brain development compared to what children gain when listening to a story or reading a picture book.

Storytelling requires for your child to pay attention and focus for a long period of time.

They also help their memory, as they have to keep track of the story characters, the sequence of events and what's going to happen next.

Storytelling also helps develop your child's language, vocabulary and confidence! Each story requires for them to make connections and articulate them.

Children at the age of six are developing self-confidence and independence; stories are a great way for them to express their feelings and emotions in a positive manner.

Tip: Use a magazine as a story prompt. Pick a page with lots of elements, your child will have to make up a story using the elements on that page.

Another fun prompt idea is to fill a jar with one-liners: "the green monster in the castle", "the lost astronaut in the rocket", "the ladybird with green spots". The more creative the prompts, the funnier the story!

10) Phonic Fun - Imaginary Traveller

Best suited for 6-12 year olds

This game is simple but so much fun! A simple brain exercising game that you can play in the car, in the supermarket line or just when they are bored.

This activity helps your child (and you) to think quickly, develops communication, improves decision-making skills and builds confidence.

Tip: Everyone playing takes turns to continue with consecutive letters of the alphabet, and fill in the following I am going (blank) and I'm taking (blank).

For example, I am going to Aunt Anita's house and I'm taking my apple. I am going to Bombay and I'm taking the boat. I am going to the Circus and I'm taking the clown. Make them as silly as you can to ensure maximum fun!

11) Memory Game - Elephants never forget!

Best suited for 5-12 year olds

Brain boosting memory games help improve memory in a fun and entertaining way. Memory games help exercise your child's brain, improve concentration, enhance cognitive functionality, trains visual memory, boost focus and attention.

There are many variations of memory games you can play at home: simple matching activity for younger children, increase or decrease complexity by changing the number of elements.

Get the picture is a fun game to play right at home! You start the game by saying, "When we go to the beach we take..." "On the table there is..." all the participants of the game take turns adding an element.

When one person says an object, the next person repeats that object and adds another object. The idea is to repeat all the elements the person before you has said. Keep the chain going till someone breaks the chain!

12) Math Game: Mathematics + Brain Games = Fun!

Best suited for 5-12 year olds

A simple math game is great for helping children with their numeracy skills. Card games are great for enhancing consolidated math skills.

Math brain games help your child with number identification, counting, addition/subtraction, greater than/lesser than and other basics of mathematics.

So, here are two simple math brain games for kids:

Dice Wars

You will need dice and some counting elements (pebbles, buttons, seeds, etc).
You play the game by taking turns rolling dice and you count the number on the dice.

The player with a higher number gets to steal a pebble or button from the other player. The player who steals all the elements is the winner!

I spy cards!

You will need a deck of cards with picture cards removed. Deal all the cards in an array with number side up.

One player says "I spy with my little eye two cards that add up to make ___", and the other player must find the two cards.

Once the cards are found, remove from the set. Continue till all the cards are cleared. Apart from all of these games, you can use riddles and classic card games like Uno, Go Fish or even crosswords to get some brain juices churning.
Do try these games and tell us which ones you loved the most. Don't forget to share your experiences and suggestions about other fun brain games that we might've missed.
Also, children enjoy creating games of their own. Maybe they'd like to play 'Imaginary Traveller' with a twist, so allow your child to explore and express themselves freely.

So, the next time your child says they're bored- just play a game! You have 12 awesome brain games and ideas to chose from.

"Biodiversity underpins the functioning of the ecosystems on which we depend for food and fresh water, health and recreation, and protection from natural disasters. Its loss also affects us culturally and spiritually. This may be more difficult to quantify, but is nonetheless integral to our well-being"

Biodiversity is the basis of human existence, our life support system. Ecosystems regulate climatic processes, breakdown wastes and recycle nutrients, filter and purify water, buffer against flooding, maintain soil fertility, purify air, and provide natural resources such as wood, textiles, and of course food. All agriculture depends fundamentally on Biodiversity, as do marine and freshwater food resources.

The scope of biodiversity can be quite overwhelming, but the premise is quite simple: every living thing depends on another, whether its a direct or indirect connection. When the status of one is changed, it has knock on effects for others. It is all connected.

Healthy biological diversity involves many species and their relationships between one another and the landscape. Like an engine, the Earth has many parts, each performing a specific task. Each part works together with its neighbour to make the engine function properly. If one part is damaged or missing, the engine will no longer work.

To allow continued biodiversity loss means losing the essential services that biodiversity provides, and prevents handing down an invaluable gift to future generations.

Biodiversity is currently being lost at an unprecedented rate globally, and Ireland is no exception. The decline in biodiversity has been more rapid in the past 50 years than ever before in human history and human activity is leading to increased extinction rates. Biodiversity loss in Ireland is caused mainly by:

Habitat destruction (for example through construction and wetland drainage or infilling)

Invasive alien species (such as Japanese Knott Weed and Zebra Mussel)

Pollution (for example from use of excess fertilizer leading to excessive levels of nutrients in soil and water)

Land use change (such as conversion of land to plantation forestry or agriculture)

Unsustainable and excessive consumption

Climate Change

How to help

You can help by protecting and increasing biodiversity in your local area. Every small action helps towards the larger goal. Here's a list of 7 things you can do to help protect and increase biodiversity.

1. Make Wildlife Welcome
Support the birds, reptiles, mammals, and plants that live in your neighborhood. You can also attract more wild species by providing water, food, shelter, and privacy. You can plant native flowers and trees, hang bird boxes, bat boxes or insect hotels.

2. Protect Habitats
Explore habitats in your area. Help clean up and protect beaches, parks, reserves, and fields where wild plants and animals live. Put your rubbish in a bin, not on the ground.

3. Volunteer Your Time
Give your time to groups in your area who are working towards cleaning and greening your community.

4. Harness Your House Pet
If you have pet who likes to chase birds or rabbits think about how you could stop them. You could bring them for extra long walks to tire them out, or provide them with more toys to distract them. If you have a cat who brings you dead birds, think about keeping them indoors during the day when you're not around. This could save the lives of many birds, especially during nesting season.

5. Be a Smart Shopper
Shop locally sourced food and Irish made products. This reduces the amount of fossil fuels needed to transport your goods. Buying products with less or no plastic also helps reduce the need to create and dispose of this waste. This reduces the amount of non-degradable waste in landfills and in the ocean.

6. Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Follow the four R's in this order to create a positive impact on the planet.

7. Leave Wild Things in the Wild
Watch wild things and learn from them, but don't bring them home. Plants and animals often die outside of their habitat. Even if they don't, they have been taken out of the web which they are a part of and can no longer do their job. It is more sustainable and healthier for the animals if you create an area in your own garden for wildlife by planting native plants and providing food and shelter for animals.

For more than 200 years, the White House has been more than just the home of the Presidents and their families. Throughout the world, it is recognized as the symbol of the President, of the President's administration, and of the United States. The White House is the only private residence of a head of state that is open to the public, free of charge.

Our first president, George Washington, selected the site for the White House in 1791. The cornerstone was laid in 1792 and a competition design submitted by Irish-born architect James Hoban was chosen. After eight years of construction, President John Adams and his wife, Abigail, moved into the unfinished house in 1800. During the War of 1812, the British set fire to the President's House in 1814. James Hoban was appointed to rebuild the house, and President James Monroe moved into the building in 1817. During Monroe's administration, the South Portico was constructed in 1824, and Andrew Jackson oversaw the addition of the North Portico in 1829. During the late 19th century, various proposals were made to significantly expand the President's House or to build an entirely new house for the president, but these plans were never realized.

In 1902, President Theodore Roosevelt began a major renovation of the White House, including the relocation of the president's offices from the Second Floor of the Residence to the newly constructed temporary Executive Office Building (now known as the West Wing). The Roosevelt renovation was planned and carried out by the famous New York architectural firm McKim, Mead and White. Roosevelt's successor, President William Howard Taft, had the Oval Office constructed within an enlarged office wing.

Less than fifty years after the Roosevelt renovation, the White House was showing signs of serious structural weakness. President Harry S. Truman began a renovation of the building in which everything but the outer walls were dismantled. The reconstruction was overseen by architect Lorenzo Winslow, and the Truman family moved back into the White House in 1952.

Every president since John Adams has occupied the White House, and the history of this building extends far beyond the construction of its walls. From the Ground Floor Corridor rooms, transformed from their early use as service areas, to the State Floor rooms, where countless leaders and dignitaries have been entertained, the White House is both the home of the President of the United States his family and a museum of American history. The White House is a place where history continues to unfold.

GAA - Practice your skills

Twin sisters and Dublin GAA Games Promotion Officers, Emma and Louise Byrne, have risen to the challenge of keeping young GAA players active at a time when no collective training is allowed.

They've produced three videos detailing over 100 activities incorporating athletic development movements and fun challenges.

Little space or equipment is required for the activities, just plenty of energy to burn.

"The idea came around that we can't physically coach children at present, but using the cameras and video equipment in the corner of our room decided to create this resource to encourage everyone to get out in the back garden and get active and put a smile on peoples faces," Emma Byrne told GAA.ie

"It also gave us a break from the cabin fever too and we had as much fun doing the games ourselves as anything else!

"It's very important to keep their minds and bodies active so these exercises should hopefully give our young players a bit of fun too. They can do them with their siblings and parents and it will hopefully put smiles on their faces.

"There's so much you can do in the back garden and if it's raining you can do an awful lot of these games inside as well if you clear a space in the dining-room or wherever and just let them at it."

The Byrne twins, Emma (left) and Louise, are talented footballers for Corduff Gaels in Monaghan.

Talented footballers themselves with local club Corduff Gaels in Monaghan, Emma and Louise have been Games Promotion Officers for the last four years in Dublin with the St. Vincent's and Skerries Harps clubs respectively.

Their roles involve coaching children in local feeder primary schools, delivering coach education/workshops, running and organising various camps along with nursery activities and games development initiatives.

The dynamic duo are also are also performance analysts with the Kilkenny senior hurling team and have set up their own business, Byrne Performance, offering clubs and teams various services including video analysis, fitness testing and GPS analysis.

Their initiative to keep young GAA players active over the coming weeks is just one of many being implemented by Games Promotion Officers, coaches and clubs over the country.

In difficult times, the Association's coaching community has risen to the challenge.

"It's great, everyone is helping each other and sharing ideas and resources," says Byrne. "The more we can do to help keep everyone active and busy, the better."

The three videos that the Byrne sisters have produced can be viewed below.

Description

Learn at Home due to Covid19.

These Learn at Home choice boards were designed to provide children with a choice of fun and educational activities to complete at home during the school closure. It would be nice to complete some of these activities as a family where possible. Children can cross out or colour the squares when they complete an activity.

I made these choice boards with 3rd class in mind but they are definitely suitable to other levels.

Please share with any teacher/parent that might find them useful.

Stay safe and healthy!

Dear parents,
There seems to be some error with the links going into CJ Fallon's website.
The three books I suggest using are:
-My Read at Home - English.
-Léigh sa Bhaile - Gaeilge
-Figure it Out - Maths.

The children should have the English book at home and the Maths book. For Irish, this book is on CJ Fallon's website, if this is still causing a problem after Easter, I can upload work sheets.
I hope this helps.
Regards
Ms. Woodlock
