Students alternately move their arms towards the opposite leg and then vice versa. Since each limb is governed by the hemisphere of the opposite side, this exercise facilitates connection between the two hemispheres. Lazy eight's The activity consists in drawing horizontal eight's in the air with your hands. It activates brain and improves:

eye-muscles coordination connection between hemispheres

bi-ocular and peripheral vision Reading speed.

Double doodle This is a bilateral drawing activity which consists in sketching two images with both hands. It improves these learning skills:

understanding of writing symbols spelling accurateness Maths calculations. The elephant

This movement activates the inner ear for improved balance and so integrates the brain for listening with both ears. It improves:

listening comprehension and attention short- and long-term memory

thinking ability

Focalization
Focalization exercises help students to develop and reinforce those neural paths which link what they already know (which lays in the back of their brain) with the ability to process and express the information (frontal lobes)

The owl The owl's movements improve visual and auditory skills and also head rotation. They lessen the neck tension which develops in distressing conditions. The owl lengthens neck and shoulders' muscles while reestablishing width of

movement and facilitating the blood flow to the brain. It enhances:

Attention and memory.

The active arm The active arm lengthens muscles in the upper part of chest and shoulders. When these muscles are contracted writing and tool controlling skills are inhibited. It activates the brain for:

expressive reading diaphragm relaxation and deep breathing Hand-eye coordination and tool controlling skills.

The gravitational glider movement uses balance and gravity in order to lessen tension in the hips and pelvic area thus allowing to student to discover more comfortable postures when sitting or

standing up. It betters:
