Upstairs & Downstairs Brain Activity Kit
What educators are saying
Description
Our brains are powerful and strong. They help us remember that 2+2=4, and even help us play our favorite video games! But they are so much more than that, too! This activity kit was created to give kids a way to playfully personify the brain. While this resource was written with a small group in mind, it could easily be adapted for classroom lessons as well!
