A is for Banana Cognitive Play Curriculum
A is for Banana Cognitive Play Curriculum
Transform the way children think with our innovative 40 minute NYC based or Zoom sessions based on the beloved wordless picture book "A is for Banana." This unique curriculum harnesses the power of cognitive surprise—the N400 brain effect—to strengthen divergent thinking skills and creative problem-solving in young learners.
How It Works: Each interactive session features 3 specially selected alphabet activities that challenge children's expectations and spark neural creativity. When kids encounter the unexpected their brains light up with new connections. We then transform that cognitive surprise into playful, movement-based challenges—such as balancing an orange on your head—that make learning physical, memorable, and fun.
What Makes This Different:
Brain-Based Learning: Grounded in neuroscience research on how surprise enhances memory and flexible thinking
Divergent Thinking Focus: Moves beyond "one right answer" to celebrate multiple solutions and creative approaches
Active Engagement: No passive screen time—kids move, create, and experiment
Accessible Format: 15-minute sessions perfect for attention spans; delivered conveniently via Zoom
Perfect for developing the creative, adaptable thinkers one l mismatch at a time! Designed for Groups of 3-6 children 4 to 7 years of age. 3 child minimum. Price is per Group of 3 Children online. Inquire regarding live class availability.
