Brilliant Activities for Stretching Gifted and Talented Children provides activities to challenge the more able Key Stage 2 (KS2) child and develop their analytical, creative and evaluative skills. Activities range from quick warm-ups, brainteasers and whole class activities to maths focussed problems and open-ended challenges for pupils to work on independently.

Brilliant Activities for Stretching Gifted and Talented Children by Ashley McCabe Mowat provides open-ended mental activities to stimulate gifted and talented primary school children.

With over 100 activities, Brilliant Activities for Stretching Gifted and Talented Children will be able to keep stretching your pupils for many years to come.

While written mainly for more able pupils, all children will love these fun activities, which are based on Bloom's Taxonomy, the Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking and other research.
