LearningRx Warren Celebrates National Game and Puzzle Week November 24-30th

Brain Training Center Marks Event With List of Toys & Games to

 Boost Your Brain Power & Special Testing Opportunities

Warren, New Jersey – November 24-November 30 is National Game and Puzzle Week and local brain training center LearningRx Warren is commemorating the event by offering a list of toys and games to boost your brain skills.  As an added bonus, anyone who schedules an assessment to evaluate brain skills during the week-long celebration may apply the cost of testing toward program enrollment, essentially obtaining a free assessment.   

Brain skills (aka cognitive skills) are the essential tools people of all ages use to process and handle information. Core brain skills include: attention, memory, logic, auditory and visual processing and processing speed. Research proves these skills can be trained and that people can think, remember, pay attention and perform better as a result.   When used properly, even the simplest puzzle s and games can boost your brain power. Brain training, like in puzzles and games, does for the mind what exercise does for the body.

Members of the public are invited to call or visit LearningRx Warren for a list of reasonably priced toys and games currently on the market, and ideas for how to use them.

Marcia Douglas, Executive Director of LearningRx Warren, also encourages people of all ages to look into their own toy chests. “ Most everyone has a puzzle somewhere at home, and puzzles are also a great way to develop brain skills. Puzzles require attention, visual processing, planning and spatial reasoning.” These skills are essential for school aged children and provide a strong foundation for science, math and learning. Strong skills are equally important for adults who rely on the same brain skills for the many demands of work, family and life!
