Preschool learning games can be made out of every day activities. Changing boring tasks into fun games, keeps your child’s concentration and imagination going strong, just look at Mary Poppins. This time in your Childs life is a big stepping-stone, they are like little scientist looking, watching and discovering the wonders of the world around them.

Their curiosity in everything is wonderful to see, nurture this and your child will grow into a beautiful swan (not literally, but I hope you get what I mean).

It is a misconception that we inherit our levels of ability, for instance if your family is great at sport, but not academics, a lot of people would say 'Well its in the genes', (genetically passed down through generations) this is rubbish, genetics has nothing to do with it, it is the environment in which we learn and grow!

If as a child you developed in a sporting environment, you would make your own preschool learning games out of toys for physical development and your parents would start praising and encouraging you.

What do you think would happen?

That child will then start thinking this is good, if I do this my parents will he happy which makes me happy too.

Environment is Everything.

Using play and a variety of preschool learning games, learning becomes fun, enjoyable, fascinating, and easy!!

Yes I did say easy. If you show them the right way now then, they will think of learning as brain food, they wont be able to live with out it.

Tony Buzan books will open your mind, to a different way of learning.

If you start this learning process early, your child will use their curiosity, creativity, sensuality, rhythm and fascination to take in information, and have the ability to recall it at any time.

They will use their memory in such a way, that it may seem as if they have an encyclopaedia in their head, but they have better than that, they have the most powerful instrument of all, their brain.

I just want to give you an example of Tony Buzans learning methods, so that you can see for yourself how easy it is to learn.

Do you remember when you were in school, and you where asked by the teacher to learn the planets of the solar system, their size and the order they are from the sun.

If you didn't do this you can have a go now.

1. Mercury (small) 2. Venus (small) 3. Earth (small) 4. Mars (small) 5. Jupiter (big) 6. Saturn (big) 7. Uranus (big) 8. Neptune (big) 9. Pluto (small)

Give yourself ten minutes then have a go of writing them down in the correct order and sizes.

Give yourself one mark for each planet correctly placed. If you have the correct planet but in the wrong place, or the wrong size, you score 0.

How did you do?

The average score around the world on this test is between one and two, so don't worry if yours is a low score.

In order to memorise the planets for life you are going to use a Link System, in conjunction with your imagination, to create a linked and fantastic story.

If you follow it carefully and completely, it will be harder for you to forget than to remember!

Imagine that in front of you, where you are currently reading, is a glorious SUN. See it clearly, feel its heat, and admire its orange/red glow. Imagine, next to the Sun, a little (it's a little Planet) thermometer, filled with that liquid metal that measures temperature: MERCURY. Imagine that the Sun heats up, and eventually becomes so hot that it bursts the thermometer. You see all over the desk or floor, in front of you, tiny balls of that liquid metal Mercury.

Next you imagine that, rushing in to see what happened, and standing by your side, comes the most beautiful little goddess. Colour her, clothe her, perfume her, design her as you will. What shall we call our little goddess? Yes, VENUS! You focus so intently on Venus with all your senses, that she becomes almost a living physical reality in front of you.

You see Venus play like a child with scattered mercury, and finally manage to pick up one if the mercury globules. She is so delighted that she throws it in a giant arc way up in the sky (which you see, as light glistens off it throughout its journey), until it hurtles down from on high and lands in your garden with a gigantic 'thump'!, which you both hear and feel as a body vibration.

And on what planet is you garden? EARTH.

Because of the power of her throw, and the height of the arc, when the globule lands, it creates a small crater which sprays earth (EARTH) into your neighbour's garden.

In this fantasy you imagine that your neighbour is a little (it's a little planet) , red-faced (it's a red Planet), angry and war-like character carrying a chocolate bar in his leading hand! And who is this God of war? MARS.

Mars is furious that the earth has gone into his garden, and is just about to attack you when, striding on the scene, comes a giant so large and powerful that he shakes the very foundations (and you must feel them) of where you are.

See him standing a hundred feet tall, and make him as real as you made Venus. He tells Mars to calm down, which Mars immediately does, for this giant, with a giant cow-lick 'J' on his forehead, is your best friend as well as being the king of the gods, the fifth Planet: JUPITER.

As you look up to the hundred-foot-high Jupiter, you see the word 'SUN' emblazoned in flashing gold letters across the giant T-shirt on his enormous chest.

Each of these gigantic letters stands for the first letter of each of the next three big Planets of the Solar System: SATURN, URANUS, NEPTUNE.

Sitting on Jupiter's head, barking his little heart out with humour because he thinks the episode has been so hilarious, is a little (little because the Planet is so small) Walt Disney dog by the name of PLUTO. Re-run this fantasy in your mind, and see how difficult it is to forget!

Isn't it brilliant!

You can make preschool learning games out of everything!

But it's a shame that we didn't get taught this skill when we where young. Its so easy when teaching and learning is Fun and buy using preschool learning games, songs and stories learning is enjoyable to do.

Using all your senses and imagination to create a fantasy story that your brain will love and instantly want to play, over and over again and there it is stuck, forever in your memory bank.

This little system and others that Tony Buzan teaches you in his books, can help your child find maths as enjoyable as doing a craft activity such as painting, because its fun! All Preschool Learning Games should be Fun.

Make Life fun and the world is a happier place!
