Brilliant Activities for Gifted and Talented Children: That Other Children Will Love Too by Ashley McCabe-Mowat

Open-ended activities to challenge gifted and talented primary school children - that other children will love too! Brilliant Activities for Gifted and Talented Children by Ashley McCabe Mowat provides open-ended classroom activities to stretch more able pupils at Key Stage 2 (KS2). Based on Bloom's Taxonomy, the activities will develop children's creative and critical thinking skills. Gifted and talented children are not the only ones who will benefit from this book! All the class will enjoy taking on these creative, open-ended challenges. Children will thoroughly enjoy these activities. Some of the activities can last for days. Others, such as the brainteasers, can be used for a quick warm-up to spark interest and excite the brain. Use the ideas in Brilliant Publications' Brilliant Activities for Gifted and Talented Children and have the confidence of knowing that the extra you are doing in the classroom will really help pupils to develop their thinking skills on all six levels of Bloom's Taxonomy: knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis and evaluation. For more open-ended mental stimulation activities for the more able, see Brilliant Activities for Stretching Gifted and Talented Children, also written by Ashley McCabe Mowat and published by Brilliant Publications.
