Spelling Bee
|
This is a wonderful spelling bee game. This game is great for testing your memory for the spellings of difficult words. Not a bad way to increase your vocabulary, either!
Instructions. To play the Spelling Bee game, first click the Easy, Hard, or Expert radio button at the top to select the difficulty. Next, make sure your computer speakers are turned on. Click the orange Play button to hear the first word. Then, type the word in the Spell the Word box.
Click the Answer button to see whether you spelled the word right. The Score section on the right side of the game automatically keeps track of the percentage of words you spelled correctly.

If you know any English teachers, point out this game to them. This could be a fun and easy way for their students to practice their spelling and expand their English vocabulary.
Advanced Brain Training
I complete a quick, 10-minute Lumosity brain training session every morning. These training sessions exercise the different areas of my brain and prepare my mind for the day ahead. Over time, these sessions have sharpened my memory and other mental abilities in a significant and noticeable way. A Lumosity brain training "session" consists of several mind-expanding brain games designed by the scientists at Lumosity and automatically selected for my individualized training program. Examples include Birdwatching, Monster Garden, Lost in Migration, and Spatial Speed Match, just to name a few. Scientific studies show that Lumosity brain training measurably improves memory, attention, cognitive control, and processing speed. To help me track my own improvement, the "My History" section of Lumosity charts my brain's capabilities over time with easy-to-read graphs and Brain Performance Index (BPI) scores. Lumosity is free to try. Complete one brain training session a day for two weeks, and I guarantee you'll be hooked! Note - If you need help with Lumosity or have questions, feel free to send me an email through the Contact Me page at left. |
