Conginitive Labs
What it is: Cognitive Labs is a collection of games aimed at working out the brain. The games work both the left and right sides of the brain. There are currently 76 brain games to play on the Cognitive Labs site but games get added regularly.
How to integrate Cognitive Labs into your curriculum: Use Cognitive Labs games as a daily brain teaser or daily warm up for your students. You could have a new game up each day on classroom computers for students to play with and solve throughout the day. If you have a projector in your room invite students to come up and solve the different puzzle games. In a computer lab setting you can have a mini competition to see who can solve each puzzle the quickest. The games are a great way to jump start thinking for the day!
Tips: You have to enter a email address to activate the links on the Cognitive Lab site. The email address does not have to be valid or unique so students do not need to have their own email address to play the brain games.
