Memory Game

How good is your memory? This memory game is lots of fun and uses materials you may already have around your home.
Remember, it's always a good idea to practice at home first!

Suggested Materials:

* 10 x small everyday items eg. Lego block, pencil, coin, stone, clothes peg, bar of soap, seashell, toothbrush, plug etc
* 1 x small table cloth (or similar)
* 1 x small container with lid eg. shoe box
* 1 x small prize eg. novelty eraser (optional)

Suggested Instructions:

Step 1: At school, arrange your 10 items on a desk in the classroom. Quickly cover them with your cloth so that no-one gets a chance for a sneak peek.

Step 2: Choose 4 children in the class to try to memorise the
10 items.

Step 3: Remove the cloth and give the children approximately
2 minutes to look at and try to memorise the items.

Step 4: Immediately cover the items with the cloth when the
2 minutes is up.

Step 5: Ask the children, individually, to name the items they
can remember.

Step 6 (optional): The child who can remember the most
items wins.
