Plan the Curriculum Block
Choose a four-week arc: attention, memory, processing speed, integration. Each week, explain the science, demo the game, run 10-12 minutes of play, then reflect.
Classroom Logistics
Project leaderboards, assign partners for peer coaching, and rotate “tech leads” who set up devices. Use noise-canceling headphones if multiple classes share space.
Assessment Ideas
Students keep a cognitive journal: what strategy they tried, how it felt, and where they will apply it (exams, sports, music). Grade on reflection quality. Combine with quick quizzes on cognitive vocabulary (working memory, inhibition).
Family + Admin Communication
Send a kickoff letter, weekly highlight emails, and end-of-unit summary showing improvements. Invite parents to try BrainGames at home to reinforce habits.
Scale Responsibly
After piloting one class, train colleagues. Provide a ready-to-go slide deck, teacher notes, and pacing guide. Collect feedback after each run to keep improving.
Action Steps
Align with standards
Map BrainGames skills to SEL or executive-function frameworks used by your district.
Pilot with one class
Test the program with a small group before scaling school-wide.
Communicate wins
Share data with administrators and parents to secure ongoing support.
Recommended Games
Number Memory
Pairs with math and language units.
Sequence Memory
Great for pattern recognition lessons.
Reaction Time
Engaging warmup before tests or debates.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do students need accounts?
Create class logins or let them play in guest mode for the first session.
How do I grade participation?
Use completion streaks, reflection journals, or self-reported focus scores instead of raw game numbers.
