While the brain is technically an organ, it works very much like a muscle: if you flex it, it gets stronger. One of the greatest ways to stay sharp and nimble is to play games that test and strengthen your brain, just like when you were playing and learning in school. To keep us all feeling mentally agile, I’ve put together a few fun ways to stretch that brain with a few options for kids, too. Test yourself and see how well you do!
