Description
Brain games are fun activities, games, and tests to try out on your brain, or your friends’ and family’s brains! They reveal all kinds of cool stuff about how the brain works, what it does without you even realizing, and what it’s good at and not so good at. You’ll also find out how you can trick and confuse your brain, and how to help it do tasks more easily, too. This book has four chapters, each containing a selection of brain games to try. Most of them don’t need much equipment: just a few everyday household objects. There are outdoor and indoor brain games, and some can be done anywhere.
