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.
