Brain Benders for Beginners! : Thinking Activities for Younger Learners

This title has been developed to enrich higher-order thinking skills in young children and build on their natural excitement for learning.

Underpinned by the work of Bloom, Gardner, Dalton and Vygotsky, this lively book for young children, although the open-ended nature of most of the problems makes them suitable for use with a wide variety of ages.

The topics for each activity sheet reflect the self-focused nature of young children by drawing upon their current knowledge and then encouraging them to look further.

Each sheet is focused on one topic and contains three types of tasks: Sit and Think; Go and Find Out and Make and Create.
