Helping children improve focus, coordination, and thinking skills doesn’t always require complex tools or long activities.
Sometimes, a simple brain gym exercise can make a big difference.
This Bilateral Brain Gym Activity Sheet is a free, screen-free printable designed to help preschool and primary kids use both sides of the brain together through slow, guided movement.
🧠 What Is a Bilateral Brain Gym Activity?
Bilateral brain gym activities encourage children to use both hands and both sides of the body at the same time.
This helps improve communication between the left and right sides of the brain.
Regular practice supports:
- Focus and attention
- Bilateral coordination
- Hand-eye coordination
- Thinking and problem-solving skills
These activities work especially well when combined with other brain booster worksheets such as visual discrimination and color coding activities.
