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. This deceptively
simple combination of movements and music can change the way we learn
and remember. Why SmartMoves? Movement prepares the brain for optimal
learning, and promotes brain plasticity. Learning complex movements
increases the growth of connections between neurons, sharpens memory,
improves focus, and increases the capacity to master new information.

Though seemingly simple, the Body Puzzle
movements call on a synthesis of the visual, auditory, motor planning
and thinking skills that are at the core of learning. Students find them
intriguing. Classroom teachers find they help students switch on right,
left, and whole body coordination, visual-spatial reasoning, listening,
balance, and focus. |
