I will get the ball rolling with leaving an idea for Brain Tower games.
Greater/Less Than
You could use whole numbers, fractions, decimals, etc. on the blocks.
Add some dice. The player rolls the dice, pulls a block out and decides if it is less than or more than the number(s) on the dice.
You could play this with any age group, just adjust for difficulty.

I just purchased a Brain Tower and I'm excited to try it with my preschool class. I'll first try writing words and having the kids come up with a rhyme for the word!
So excited to try it out! Thanks.
Thanks for all the AWESOME ideas. We've been having so much fun using the brain tower in my classroom! It's perfect for small groups and parent volunteers.
After the Brain Tower give-away was over, I couldn't help but share some of the great ideas left by people entering:
"The chance to use it again and again. So many centers are used once and then filed away. This allows me to use something again in different ways."-Monica
"I love the idea of having a game that I can use FOR ALLLLL subjects! I can see us working with vocabulary, division, multiplication, captials and states...and the list goes on and on!"-Carmen
"I think the would be great to play homophone/
antonym & synonym dominoes."-Wes
"I am thinking about the many ways it can be used. For instance, as we are preparing for high stakes tests later this semester, I can have students write questions on the blocks regarding a specific subject, and the other student(s) in their group can answer the question and earn points."-Mo
These are just a few! Brain Tower will bring excitement back to your classroom.
