Even though games on the iPad can be time consuming because they are highly addictive and so easy to click and use, they can strengthen your brain muscles. One of Professor Sotillo's favorite games on it is Temple Run, which uses focus and much thinking to not die in the game. These games are fun to play and sometimes its even better than watching television. Sometimes I feel that tv shows are making me dumb with all the reality shows and everything, but listening to Pandora and playing these types of games is actually better for you. I absolutely love the free Boggle version app. I love playing the board game of it. This game involves creating words from scrambbled dice that have letters on them. You have to make words in a certain amount of time and the letters need to be touching for you to create the word. It is fun and you are using your thinking skills the whole time trying to make words, especially longer and harder words to get more points. This type of game is good for children to use instead of coming home and turning on the television. It gets your mind actively thinking and you will want to play more and more to beat your high score!
