Flash Tetris– Play Tetris or use it in your classroom to increase students ability to work with flips, slides, and turn. Helps with Geometry, visualization skills, as you play you give your brain more work to do, as it creatively manipulates pieces to fit together

One study conducted by the Mind Research Network, found an increase in brain function- information about this study can be found here. If anyone has more information about this- I’d like to hear more about it!! I’m very interested in Brain Research, but as I read the study conducted by the Mind Research Network- I did find that the study was funded in part by the makers of Tetris, however I do believe it to be true that some games do increase brain activitiy and help to ward off the mental decline that occurs with aging.
