Mind Games

For the next few weeks, many students are on vacation. They will be watching TV and movies, playing video games, listening to their mp3s and spending a lot of time online. With all of the relaxation that is bound to occur, their minds are going to get out of the practice of thinking. Like typical students on break, they will take every available minute to veg out, which can make the return to classes in January a bit hairy.

Being connected to something electronic is not the only way to relax. Why not try some of the activities listed below:

crosswords
word searches
sudoku
puzzles
crafts
cards
reading
board games

All of these activities are relaxing yet keep the mind moving. If students veg out for too long, all the hard-earned knowledge gained the first semester will start to dwindle away. To keep it fresh and make the transition back to class in January less stressful, it's important to keep the mind moving.
