Brain-Jitsu before school

In a master-piece of programming CBBC (that’s Children’s arm and channel of the British Broadcasting Corporation) have put on Brian-Jitsu on and left a good twenty minutes to walk to school after it’s shown. Now it’s not often I endorse the goggle-box - preferring my own kids to play rather than veg - but this is different. As a program it inspires rather than sedates.

The premise is a game show in which children get through to the next round by completing mind-games (similar to some the Brain Training on the DS activities but on a bigger scale).  The offshoot being that kids are thinking about focus and mindskills on the way to school.  CBBC gets my hearty thanks.

So No.1 child learnt his spellings today whilst being spun upside down… whether this helps or hinders is beyond me; but the point is he wanted to learn them, which is where it all begins.
