We love how many of you are using The First Five to kick off each day with connection, conversation, and fun. And while the daily editions let you revisit a few previous days, we know some of you want even more, especially when it comes to planning ahead or finding that perfect activity you saw last week.

That’s where the Brain Games and Archives Calendar come in.

To access all previous curated content and every daily brain game, all you need is a free First Five PLUS account. Once you’re signed in, you’ll unlock the full searchable database (see our earlier blog post for more on that) along with access to our Archives Calendar, a visual library of every past daily edition.

You’ll also get access to the Brain Games on individual landing pages, making it easy to share them directly with your students. Whether it’s a word challenge, puzzle, or quick mental warm-up, these games are a fun way to get brains moving and minds engaged.

Planning ahead? We’ve got you covered. Each new edition is posted to the Archives Calendar the night before by 8:30 PM EST. So Monday’s edition for August 11 will be available on August 10. If you’re the type who likes to get ahead, we made this just for you.

We hope these features make your mornings smoother and your planning easier. As always, we’re here if you have any questions or feedback.

Check out the Archives Calendar now and explore what’s new!
