This deceptively simple combination of movements and music can change the way we learn and remember.
SmartMoves, a DVD, designed for students in grades 3-12, leads students through a series of increasingly complicated body movements that function as a kind of calisthenics for the brain. Forty Body Puzzles at varying levels of difficulty: Simple, Simple Too, Tricky, Challenging, and Formidable
, are included in the
SmartMoves DVD. A supplemental Teacher's Guide is also included.
Teachers and researchers agree — more and more children develop learning disorders every year. Classrooms are filled with bright children who have trouble learning, shorter attention spans, more impulsive behavior, and decreasing scores in reading and language skills.
Developed with these students in mind, SmartMoves provides the following benefits to ALL students: - Less stress and anxiety
- Improvements in ability to focus and working memory
- Greater ability to integrate multiple concepts
- Improvements in balance and coordination
- Gains in academic achievement
