Every Body Has a Brain

an interactive musical brain game!


Every Body Has a Brain is a video game and website for 4-6 year olds funded by
grants from the National Institute of Mental Health’s Small Business Innovation Research
Program.

The Game
Phoebe Brainheart has an enormous curiosity about the human brain! One day, Phoebe's pet computer mouse accidentally causes her brain parts to stop cooperating with one another. You go inside her brain to get the parts of the brain working together again.


Children visit the Cerebral Cortex, Cerebellum, Brainstem,and Hippocampus. Characters with names representing each brain part -- Sir Rebral Cortex and Sara Bellum, for example -- guide children through the activities and games. By playing games in each part of the brain, they learn how that brain part works and why it's important to protect their brains.

The design of each game mirrors the content. For example, in the Cerebellum, games involve coordination and balance; in the Hippocampus, they engage memory; and in the Cerebral Cortex; they elicit creativity and problem solving.
In the process of playing children will:
• Gain a new sense of wonder and appreciation for their brain.
• Understand the basic structures and functions of the brain.
• Understand that all the parts of the brain work together.
• Realize that it's important to protect their brains.
• Appreciate what an amazing and vital organ the human brain is.
