The Brain Gym® program was designed to develop the brain's neural pathways the way nature does –through movement. 26 easy and enjoyable activities integrate the body and mind to bring about rapid and often dramatic improvements in: concentration, memory, reading, writing, organizing, listening, physical coordination, and more.
Beginning in the 1970’s, the Brain Gym program grew out of clinical studies by educators Paul Dennison, Ph.D. and Gail E. Dennison, who were seeking more effective ways to help children and adults identified with “learning disabilities” such as ADD, ADHD and Dyslexia. They drew from a large body of research by developmental specialists who had been experimenting with using physical movement to enhance learning ability.
The Dennisons produced an innovative new approach to learning: the Brain Gym activities, and the field known as Education Kinesiology (Edu-K), “learning through movement.”
Today the Brain Gym program supports people of all abilities in making wide-ranging positive changes in their lives. Practiced in more than 90 countries worldwide and taught in thousands of public and private schools, the corporate community, the field of performing arts, and athletic training programs, Edu-K and the Brain Gym activities enhance learning for optimal performance.

They are a series of exercises to help form the neural pathways in the child's brain, this helps them to learn better, we do it at our school and it really works because the children have to move about which also wakes them up.
