Playing can make you smarter. Just don't tell the kids or they may never do homework again.

The Ogosport Sports Disk is a game of concentration and coordination that involves bouncing balls on miniature trampolines. You'll find it, along with 200 other games for kids and adults intended to exercise the mind, at the new Marbles: The Brain Store, now open at Mall of America and online at marblesthebrainstore.com.

A panel of doctors and scientists reviews every product on the shelves. Marbles recommends Ogosport because playing it "activates and strengthens key areas of the brain crucial to day-to-day function." Who couldn't use a boost of functionality? Ogosport sells for $29.99.
