Boost Your Brain Power Right Now with Free Brain Games Training!

Training your brain with brain games is a fun way to improve your memory and concentration. You can start your own brain training program right now. I've searched the web for puzzles, logic games, and other brain training games to make it easy for you to begin. There are now over 100 games in the list on the right. All free! To keep your brain in top shape, play these games regularly. I recommend one or two 15-minute sessions a day.

Brain games can be used to exercise many different mental abilities, including:

• Memory. Short-term memory, working memory, remembering people's names
• Attention. Focus, concentration, attention span
• Mental Flexibility. Planning, response inhibition, task switching, verbal fluency
• Problem solving. Logical reasoning, quantitative reasoning, arithmetic
• Thinking Speed. Information processing, spatial orientation

These skills are valuable at school, at work, and in everyday life. According to research, playing brain games can even help prevent Alzheimer's Disease!

Try the Scientific Brain Training Service I Use

Free brain games are helpful. But for more effective brain training, check out the Lumosity brain training service. I play Lumosity's games for 15 minutes every day to keep my brain sharp.

Lumosity's brain training games were designed by scientists. Included are brain training courses that boost brain function (such as memory and attention) as well as peak performance (such as intelligence and advanced memory). There are also special courses for students and medical conditions such as ADHD, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and brain cancer recovery.

Try Lumosity Free for Two Weeks. A subscription to Lumosity costs about $7 per month, but you can try the full version of Lumosity for two weeks for free. They do ask for a credit card number when you sign up to limit free trials to one person.

Plan a Little, Then Play

With free brain games, it is easy to waste time. Unless you approach the games in a structured way, you won't get as much benefit.

Here's one way to create your own very own personal brain exercise program using the free games on this site. Follow the step below, and work on forming a consistent habit until brain training becomes a regular part of your daily schedule.

1. Select one or more games from the links at right.
2. Once a day, for 10 minutes, work on solving the puzzle or game. Use a stopwatch to track time if you need to.
3. Each time you play, try to solve the game more quickly than the last time (or get a higher score).
4. After you feel you've mastered that game, repeat the steps above with a new game.

That approach should get you some results. Have fun with it, and good luck!

In addition to being a fun way to give your brain a workout, solving puzzles, mind benders, brain teasers, and other brain games is a great way to take a break from other "normal" work.

Now you can justify to your parents, significant other, or boss why you spend so much time playing games. You are keeping your mind active and building a stronger brain!
