It’s that time again-time to exercise your brain. Today let’s try some Word Wizards. These are so fun and designed to address problem solving, thought flexibility, reasoning,  and executive function skills. Word Wizards are great brain exercises for all ages from kids to seniors. Remember, we are never too old for new learning and never too young to begin building our cognitive reserves, thanks to brain/neuroplasticity! The key to forming new pathways is to try and engage in new learning and mix things up. Do things differently so you actually force yourself to think and not go into auto mode.  So, get your healthy brain food and drink-nuts, berries, eggs filled with colorful vegetables, green tea, and water and let’s begin our workout.

Directions for completing Word Wizards:

Change only 1 letter at a time until you have changed the first word to the last word. We have solutions but there can certainly be multiple solutions. Please share your answers and let’s see who can use the fewest words to solve these!
