Description

The Brain Gym curriculum is structured around 26 specific physical exercises designed to enhance cognitive functions such as concentration, memory, reading, writing, and physical coordination. Developed by Dr. Paul Dennison and Gail Dennison, these exercises are based on the principle that movement is essential for optimal brain function. The curriculum emphasizes integrating these exercises into daily routines to prepare the brain and body for learning, aiming to create a playful, stress-free approach to education.
