Kim's Memory Game

Materials

• 8–12 safe, familiar objects
• A cloth
• Paper and pencils
• A clock

How to play

1. Arrange familiar objects of different shapes, such as a spoon, cup and ball, on a table and cover them. Players gather around.
2. Uncover them for 30–60 seconds. Look without touching and remember the objects. Explain any unfamiliar names before beginning.
3. Cover them again. Write the objects you remember, draw them or tell an adult if writing is difficult.
4. After 1 minute, uncover and compare answers. Notice shape and color as well as number, then change the objects or arrangement and repeat.

Ways to adapt

Preschool children: 3–4 objects with an adult. Younger primary school children: start with 6. Older primary school children: start with 12 and increase only if suitable.
