Brain-based learning takes into account the fact that the brain is
constantly changing and growing, and that different types of
activities can help to stimulate different parts of the brain. This means that students are more likely to learn and remember information if they are actively engaged in an activity that is stimulating their brains.
Top 10 Activities to Promote Brain-Based Learning
A variety of different activities can be used to promote brain-based
learning, but some of the most popular include:
1. Brain teasers and puzzles: These can help to stimulate the
brain and get students thinking in new and creative ways. At CrunchGrade, online tutors love to challenge students with brain teasers and puzzles based on the concepts they are learning to keep them engaged and promote higher-level thinking.
2. Memory games: Games that require students to remember
information can help to improve their memory and recall skills. Some of the best memory games for school students include Simon Says and several other Memory and Concentration games available online.
3. Visual aids: Using visual aids such as pictures, diagrams, and
videos can help students to better understand and remember information. Online tutors can use 3D models, animations, and simulations to bring concepts to life and help students learn more effectively.
Similarly, mind maps and infographics are great ways to remember
key information.
1. Hands-on activities: Activities that allow students to get
physically involved in the learning process can be very effective in promoting brain-based learning. Some hands-on activities students can do in online classes include experiments, virtual simulations, and interactive games.
In a traditional classroom, they may also participate in science
projects, field trips, and other activities that allow them to get out of their seat and learn more actively.
2. Cooperative learning: Working together in small groups can
help students to learn from each other and develop new skills. Some great group project ideas for elementary school students include creating a time capsule, developing a skit or play, or creating a classroom mural.
Secondary school students can work together on more complex
projects such as developing a marketing campaign, conducting research, or writing a group paper.
3. Problem-solving activities: Activities that require students to
solve problems can help them to think critically and develop problem-solving skills. Some problem-solving activities for elementary school students include solving math problems, playing board games, and working on jigsaw puzzles.
Secondary school students can work on more complex problem-
solving activities such as coding projects, designing experiments, or creating business plans.
4. Discussions: Discussions can help students to share ideas, learn
from each other, and develop critical thinking skills.
Some tips to hold a fruitful and insightful discussion online include
giving everyone a chance to speak, encouraging students to ask questions, and providing prompts or open-ended questions to get the conversation started.
5. Journal writing: Writing in a journal can help students process
information and express their thoughts and ideas. Journal writing can be used as a tool for reflection, creative thinking, and exploring new ideas. Secondary school students can explore more complex topics such as their hopes and fears for the future, their opinions on current events, or the things that make them who they are.
1. Games: Games can be a fun and engaging way to promote brain-
based learning. Some great games for promoting brain-based learning include chess, card games, strategy games, and word games.
2. Real-world applications: Connecting what students are
learning to real-world situations can help to make the learning more relevant and meaningful.By incorporating activities and strategies that promote brain-based learning, teachers can create an environment that is conducive to learning and helps students to be successful.
