Summertime Fun & Brain Building Activities
Executive function and self-regulation (EF/SR) skills provide critical supports for learning and development, and while we aren’t born with these skills, we are born with the potential to develop them through interactions and practice. Harvard University have created an activity guide that offers a variety of age-appropriate activities and games to support and strengthen various components of EF/SR in children.
Each chapter contains activities suitable for a different age group, ranging from 6-18 months to adolescents. The full guide is available in Arabic. Two sections—5 to 7 year-olds and 7 to 12 year olds—are available in French.
