Professor Noggin

Who is Professor Noggin?

Professor Noggin is a woman full of fun facts and knowledge. Born and raised in a library, she eventually read every book it had to offer. She started with the children’s section, and finished with the encyclopedias. Being raised by the local librarian in a quiet, lonely library didn't offer Professor Noggin many stimulating days. If she got too excited, she was told, “shh, be quiet! This is a library!” She promised herself that when she was older, she would provide children with fun games that they could play for hours on end. One day, Professor Noggin became an adult. Using the incredible knowledge she had gained, she invented a time machine, and traveled throughout history, visiting all parts of the world.  She quickly became very lonely traveling by herself, so she offered to take Students of Learning with her. This gave students an opportunity to see dinosaurs, ancient civilizations, and all kinds of other interesting things. Her Students of Learning filled notebooks with lots of facts that they learned on their journeys. Professor Noggin, with all her knowledge, could tell if the facts were right or wrong. She thought the facts were excellent, and she decided to turn them all into card games. Today, Professor Noggin has 32 fun-filled card games on exciting, educational subjects. 
 

This group of children (ages 5-11) starts learning skills formally at school, they acquire new strength vocally and they discover new songs and may show interest in learning a musical instrument. They also learn to improvise more and start discussing and evaluating music. Some may develop a passion for pop music as well. We offer quite a few age appropriate choices here: music for learning fun to promote literacy and numeracy skills; some pop music CDs (music of the Beatles, ABBA, Elvis Presley, Amica and more modern artists); music to keep kids active and great CDs for group activities.
