I reviewed Brain Savvy at home with my son. I also sent it to school for his teacher to use in the classroom. My son is in a contained classroom of six students with different skill levels and disabilities. The game itself is a teaching tool designed to be used in a regular classroom. I was asked to review this game and to give my opinion on how it would be relevant to the special needs community, especially a child with autism.

Go to nature:

HAVE FUN

Creativity is about letting the kid inside out to play. Have some fun. See how many crazy ideas we can come up with. Put on a Halloween mask and drive around town. Borrow a friend’s car, especially if you live in a small town, so s/he gets the credit for wearing the mask. This is especially effective when it’s not Halloween.

Act Differently

Creativity is about challenge. If you are a slave to comfort and cannot find comfort in a challenge, then you won’t be creative, you will be a habit bound, couch potato. Observe how you do things and try doing them differently. Take a different route to work. Play the role of some famous person for a day.
