Moving Minds BrainPrimers Card Sets

Capture your students' attention while stimulating their memory, self-control, and social interaction through a series of fun, physical movements highlighted on these classroom cards. Follow the cards in progression or pick and choose cards to focus on certain skills to encourage physical activity in the classroom.

• Green Deck: introduces students in grades K-6 to developmentally progressive, patterned rhythmic movements as they learn the basics of beat competency.
• Orange Deck: focuses on matching patterns and increases the demands on cognition and coordination for students in grades 2-5 as they march during activities.
• Purple Deck: ideal for grades 3-6 as it incorporates bilateral and cross-midline motor movements to increase cognitive-motor complexity.
• Red Deck: includes complex movements with changes in tempo and timing, while also encouraging students in grades 5-8 to think creatively while collaborating through fun, rhythmic, coordinative activities.

Each deck features 40 cards with step-by-step, image-illustrated activities; plus, a key card that explains how to do the movements and a card with overarching instructions and research. All laminated cards are 8-1/2" x 11" for easy visibility by the teacher and students. Card decks are held together with a key ring. Decks are available individually or in a Complete Set with all 4 decks.
