Publisher's Description of Mighty Mind Game Basic Edition
MightyMind is one of the top five essential toys. At first glance, most people think that MightyMind is just a box of shapes and puzzle cards, but don't be fooled! It's an intricate linear program comprised of 30 steps (puzzles) arranged in a numerical sequence that's disguised as a play activity. Kids get glued to it, because it generates a feeling of success and it builds a child's confidence and self-esteem. It originated way back in 1978 based on B.F. Skinner's (the Harvard behaviorist) development of linear programming. Disguised as a toy activity, MightyMind develops the essential critical analytical thinking skills that every child must have for future success. No reading or language is required. Includes 32 colorful proportional design shapes, neatly contained in a sturdy storage tray with a series of 30 numbered programmed puzzles.
Category Description for MightyMind / SuperMind
This wonderful game builds thinking skills, starting out easy and progressing to harder puzzles so younger kids can develop skills as they go to solve increasingly challenging puzzles. The basic MightyMind game contains a tray with 32 colorful plastic design tiles and 30 sturdy puzzle boards. The puzzles are numbered so you can easily spot their correct order. While the first puzzles consist of spaces to match single shapes to, the puzzles reach a point where they have just an outline, requiring children to experiment with different pieces until they find the correct combination in order to solve the puzzle. Children can work their way through the puzzles without help, all the while building puzzle-working skill and interest. MightyMind has received several awards, among them the Parent's Choice Honor award. A magnetic version of MightyMind is also available, which includes magnetic shapes and is packaged in a tin. Great for the road!
SuperMind is a sequel for children who have successfully completed the MightyMind puzzles. It is available separately (in original or magnetic versions), or you can purchase just the design book, since the design tiles are identical to those in the first set.
Extra Design Tiles are available, 32 colored tiles in each set, so more than one child can play at once. These are also great for use without pattern cards to create freeform designs.
Kindergarten readiness; cognitive/problem solving skills
This was part of the Sonlight preschool curriculum.
I'm buying this again not for my boys this time, but for their friend's birthday gift. It's a neat game for kids to enjoy.
