Try these games with your family, memory games help develop concentration, attention
span and improve focus, amongst other benefits.
‘What’s missing’ (Kim’s game)
Gather together some objects, these can be anything and a tea towel. Place them on a
table, cushion or the floor and let the child look at all the objects. Name them together so
the child knows what they are all called.
Cover the objects with the tea towel and remove one of the objects. Take off the tea towel
and the child has to name what object is missing.
Start with 5 objects then progress to more. It is also fun if the child takes an object and you
have to guess!
Matching pairs
This is another simple game which helps build child’s memory. On pieces of paper you can
draw objects, shapes or symbols.
Turn the paper. Face down so the drawings cannot be seen. Place them in rows and
columns to make it a little easier.
You each take turns to turn over 2 pieces of paper. If they match you keep them and have
another turn.
If they don’t match allow the child to have a longer look. This will help them to try and
remember their location on when they need to match them another time.
You can start with 10 cards, (5 matching pairs) and increase as your child gets better.
Counting on is not the same as adding. For this skill children first need to be able to count
in order from a given number. For example, start counting from 4, or start counting from 7.
In order to write sentences correctly children need to use capital letters and full stops. The
activity below will help the children recognise what a capital letter looks like.
Don’t forget to practise handwriting.
Shapes and patterns are always good to do and your name!
