Brain-building games

Improves: hand eye oordination, spatial abilities, logic, patience, math abilities.

A fun game that looks holistically at the brain and allows all sorts of learners to show their strengths.

Establishes math skills, logic and spatial reasoning, but for me personally this game is not as intimidating as Chess.

Develops logic abilities, vocabulary and fosters strategical thinking. Also improves math abilities.

Improves concentration, hand-eye coordination, response time and of course, memory.

Improves math and logical abilities. Helps one to develop patience. It is a single player game so there is no fear of being "beaten".

Develops spatial skills and also logic skills. It's a single player game, too, so those who are afraid of competing or losing do well at this.

This game, and the classic "board game" Tangram (with the multiple pieces) develops spatial abilities and, to some degree, math skills. Also fosters creativity.

Develops improved response time and spatial abilities.

I am only listing this for Text Twist, but like Scrabble, it allows the user to make multiple words out of a group of letters. Unlike scrabble, it is single player and much faster. Develops vocab skills and reaction time. Fosters a love of words. Logophilia will abound.
