"Use Your Brain" - news of an article about clapping and other games
Many people know that there are different areas of your brain associated with different types of learning and activities. The left hemisphere is primarily concerned with analytical and rational thought, the use of language and linear patterns. While the right hemisphere likes to process information in a holistic way, and is occupied by sensory perception and abstract cognition. However, stimulating both hemispheres simultaneously can increase the efficiency of the brain and raise intelligence. Activities such as these games can offer just such an opportunity to children and at the same time they are having fun. Jenny Mosley's "Clapping Games" book with CD is packed with songs and clapping rhythms - old and new - in a brightly-coloured, illustrated, easy to read format. (Out of School Magazine, January 2004)
