Your Amazing Brain
Wake Up Kids — Kids Wake-Up Podcast: The Amazing Brain It’s a high-energy Thursday, May 21, 2026, and host Ticky Tocket is here to get kids pumped for the day!   Big Topic: Your amazing brain is about the size of two fists and packs roughly 86 billion neurons. When you learn, zappy messages build new connections—like tiny secret tunnels—so your brain actually grows when you practice new things.   Interactive Moment: Make two fists and bump them together to picture your brain’s size—then imagine all those secret tunnels lighting up as you learn!   Weather Check — Lindfield, Sydney: A chilly 12.2°C to start, warming to around 20°C with possible showers. Bundle up and pack an umbrella.   Takeaway: Be curious, creative, and kind—every drawing, song, block tower, and act of kindness is brain-building magic. Wake Up Kids, over and out.
