Summer enrichment classes will begin soon and teamwork builds unity. Working with puzzles individually or together will help my students improve cognition and visual-spatial reasoning. The act of putting the pieces of a puzzle together requires concentration and improves short-term memory and problem solving. Puzzles are also a great meditation tool and stress reliever. Focusing on one image for a long period of time, without extraneous thoughts entering your mind, is in itself meditation. Lastly, puzzles exercise the left and right sides of your brain at once! Your left brain is logical and works in a linear fashion, while your right brain is creative and intuitive. When doing a puzzle, both sides are engaged.
