Introducing The Silent Assassin Cards!
As children grow, they become even more curious and adventurous helping their language skills develop, and their unique personalities blossom. It's the ideal time to introduce fresh activities and encourage new ways of thinking. That's where the 'Brain Boost' Deck of cards comes in. This resource is designed to engage and challenge these inquisitive young minds with productive tasks, including the introduction of risky play and heuristic play, along with energy-burning indoor activities.
Recommended for children aged between 2-4 years old, these activities are meant to be conducted under adult supervision, ensuring both safety and enriching experiences. Our 'Brain Boost' Deck is the perfect tool to keep these cheeky brains active and engaged while nurturing their cognitive development during this exciting stage of growth.
The 'Brain Boost' Deck for Early Childhood Educators supports EYLF Outcome 1, which emphasises the development of a strong sense of identity. It encourages children to express themselves, explore their unique personalities, and engage in purposeful activities. EYLF Outcome 2 is promoted by focusing on children's connection with and contribution to their world through a variety of engaging activities, including risky play. Children are encouraged to explore and interact with their environment, fostering an understanding of cause and effect and enhancing their cognitive development. Additionally, it aligns with EYLF Principle 4 by encouraging educators to actively engage in these enriching activities, nurturing secure and reciprocal relationships with the children.
'Brain Boost' is a valuable resource that not only supports cognitive development but also aligns harmoniously with the EYLF's core principles and outcomes, ensuring that early childhood education remains stimulating, safe, and tailored to the evolving needs of young learners.
