Games are a proven method to reach and teach a kid's brain. Why? Because they are fun! Any learning that is fun is less stressful. Stress kills learning, fun supercharges learning. Games promote the mind-body connection. That is what makes retention happen. It sparks a connection in neurons in the brain. That helps with processing and retention. It's a win-win!
