Brain Heroes for groups 7-8
Meet Effi and Furon, the Brain Heroes from Brain Hero Planet. These heroes teach your students how to strengthen their Brain Powers. For example, the power to maintain focus on a task, the power to delay a reaction, or the power to deal with changes.
Sustained attention, flexibility, goal-directed perseverance, emotional regulation, planning, and metacognition are some of the executive functions or regulatory functions of our brain. They are the functions we need to control our behavior. Executive functions are crucial for your (school) success, so it's good to explicitly pay attention to them. Brain Heroes is a twenty-week program that allows you to thoughtfully work on executive functions in your class. The executive functions have been translated into ten Brain Powers. For each power, you'll find playful activities and tips to strengthen that function. The authors also provide insight into the theory behind executive functions.
Brain Heroes is also available for groups 1-2, groups 3-4, and groups 5-6. It doesn't matter if your students are already familiar with Brain Heroes; the book takes this into account. By implementing the Brain Heroes program throughout the primary school, you ensure a continuous line in strengthening executive functions.
In addition to the manuals, supporting materials are also available, including the Brain Heroes sticker pack and Brain Heroes posters for the classroom.
