Teaches: the brain

CTR Review

Every Body Has a Brain is a suite of CDs and downloadable games, songs, and stories for Windows or Mac computers. Children meet Phoebe Brainheart, a girl who loves finding out new things about the brain. Children visit Phoebe's brain to play games, sing along with songs, and play interactive stories. Each game's design mirrors the content. For example, in the Hippocampus, the games engage memory, and in the Cerebellum, they involve coordination and balance. In addition, the 17 songs from the game reinforce what the different parts of the brain do. The game is designed to teach children the basic structures and functions of the brain, understand that all parts of the brain work together, and realize that it's important to protect their brain. This software was funded by grants from the National Institute of Mental Health's Small Business Innovation Research Program.
