Active Bodies, Active Brains offers a wealth of physical activities to help kids develop physical, social, and cognitive skills. Based on cutting-edge research in brain compatibility, these games and activities help children -increase their ability to focus; -integrate their movement with thinking, thus enhancing development of neural pathways; -improve memory; -open up more areas of the brain to participate in learning; -reduce stress and enhance positive feelings to increase their learning; and -include physical activity in their daily lives. Active Bodies, Active Brains provides you with 66 activities and games--and it shows you how to easily modify and extend those to create numerous additional games. Indeed, by applying the techniques in this book, you can create an endless supply of brain-compatible physical activities while helping your participants build cognition, health-related fitness, and physical skills. Based on current brain-based practices, including Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, Active Bodies, Active Brains includes 66 cross-curricular critical-thinking activities that are aligned with national physical education standards. Because the activities call for common equipment and supplies that you most likely already have, your costs and prep time will be low. That prep time is further reduced by an activity finder that helps you find the appropriate activity at a glance.
