There was no accurate way to test how much this child really knew. As the game was developed the child began to respond positively.

She began to speak first broken sentences, 3 or 4 words long. Then the sentences grew rapidly to full sentences and then to long run-on sentences.

The success that was being experiences while playing the game began to spill over into the classroom.

The teacher reported the child first putting her hand up to answer questions, then within days it seemed, the child began to talk and the teacher could not get her to stop. It was an amazing experience to see this child blossom into a confident happy child.

‘A fist full of coins’ is a fun memory board game, which assists children with learning difficulties to learn effortlessly.

The game was originally developed to assist children with expressive and receptive language delays, but it has since been discovered that it can be used as a tool to assist in many different areas of learning.

Since the game was created many children have had the good fortune to experience success at school and in their personal lives as they become more confident.

Children who speak English as a second language, have benefited from this game, as well as children struggling with learning disabilities.

Because the game has such profound effects on children’s abilities to learn, I believe the potential benefits could also assist those recovering from strokes or brain injury.

I refer to the game as ‘Brain Gym in a box’. Listening, creating an image in ones mind, following directions, and creating sentences are all part of the secret to the games’ success. Children do not realize that they are working hard while at the same time having fun!
