Good Luck and happy reading...

"Paper Airplane Contest" Have each child make a paper airplane. Depending on age of children, you can either have them create their own, follow a pattern or make them ahead of time. Have various contests, such as, longest flight, highest flight, furthest from a target, best crash, most flips, largest flip, etc. Provide enough categories to allow each child to win a prize.

"Pin Pilot on Plane" Draw or copy a picture of a plane on a large piece of paper. Draw an outline where pilot should be sitting. Make a different pilot for each child and either put a number or name on pilot to identify child. You can also cut out a picture of your child and paste him on pilot’s head. Using double face tape, blindfold one guest at a time, spin them around and have them try to place pilot in correct location. The child closest is winner.

"Airplane Search" Fill a large container (swimming pool, sandbox, large bowl, etc work best) with packing peanuts. Put enough die cast airplanes in container so each child finds one. One at a time, have children find an airplane. You can time them and see who finds airplane fastest. This airplane can go home with them in their goody bag.

"Jet Race" To play this wonderful game, mark a target on ground a short distance away or make a finish line on floor with tape. Make a starting line and blow up a balloon for each child. For added effects, place airplane stickers on balloons. To begin, count down from three. When you say go, each child tries to land his or her “jet” inside target, or cross finish line, by tossing or hitting it.

"Musical Planes" Here is one of children’s favorite games. To setup, you need enough airplane cutouts for every child minus one. Check out our Airplane pictures and clipart for some ideas. Place them in a circle so children have enough room to walk around them. Place children on outside of airplanes and make sure they aren’t stepping on them yet. When music starts, children will walk around airplanes. As soon as music stops, children have to sit on one of airplanes. Whoever isn’t sitting on an airplane is out. Remove one airplane and continue game until one child remains.

Reading whole pages at a time and remembering material in detail. Solving problems in a creative and totally new ways. Learning new subjects easily and quickly. Focusing on an activity without giving in to any distractions. Knowing subject better than anybody else. Coming up with new concepts and ideas easily and quickly. Inventing new tools and instruments that help change world. All those great skills are identifiers of a genius.

In last few years, research into brain’s development and functions has increased significantly, and new discoveries have taken place, mainly due to new technology that is now available for first time.

It used to be “common knowledge” that neural connections in brain grow rapidly when we are infants, slow down later, and finally come to their “peak” when we reach adulthood. People used to think that after that, our brain cells and neural connections, actually start diminishing until “old age” sets in, and we lose our brain capacity.

In recent years it has been proven, that brain actually develops new neural connections constantly, and keeps doing so until day we die. The trigger for developing these new neural connections is brain activity. This is very good news to all of us, who passed our teenage years.

Tools and techniques to increase an individual’s IQ are being discovered constantly. Using information from recent research, many new theories and techniques have been developed.

The best time to start developing a strong intelligence, is in infancy, because that provides for a lifetime of developing activity. However, these techniques and methods are effective at any age.

Let’s discuss just a few of ideas that have been suggested in recent research:
