Brain Games Training
Training your brain with brain games is a fun way to improve your concentration, memory, and other brain skills. To keep your brain in top shape, play for at least a few minutes each day. I've searched the web for puzzles, mind benders, logic games, and other brain games. There are over 100 games here for you to play, in the list on the right. All free! Brain games exercise many different mental abilities, including processing speed, reaction time, problem solving, attention span, verbal fluency, logical reasoning, task switching, spatial orientation, information processing, quantitative reasoning, and face-name recall. These skills are obviously valuable at school, at work, and in everyday life. According to research, playing brain games can even help prevent Alzheimer's Disease! If you are looking for a more scientific approach to brain training, you might want to check out the Lumosity brain training service. I personally use it for 10-15 minutes a day to keep my brain sharp. Included are customized brain training courses that boost brain function (memory, attention, etc.) and peak performance (fluid intelligence, advanced memory). Other included courses are specifically customized for students and even medical conditions (ADHD, TBI, cancer recovery). Try It Free for Two Weeks. Subscriptions to Lumosity cost about $7 per month. The first two weeks of the subscription is free but does require a credit card to limit free trials to one person. Give Lumosity a try for a week or two. Many people say it has changed their lives. Lumosity just might be right for you! If for some reason it's not, cancel during the free trial and it won't cost you anything. First, go to the Lumosity website and see for yourself what it's all about. When you are ready to sign up for the free trial, click the Create Account link at the top of the page to get started. 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 much benefit.
Here's how you can create your own brain exercise program using the free games on this site: - Select one of the games from the links at right.
- Once a day, for 10 minutes, work on solving the puzzle or game. Use a stopwatch to track time if you need to.
- Each time you play, try to solve the game more quickly than the last time (or get a higher score).
- 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 work out your mind, puzzles and brainteasers are great ways 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're keeping your mind active and building a stronger brain!
