Notes for Parents
You can help your child to improve his / her memory skills by playing the following games at home:
What’s missing? – Lay some items on the floor / table. Ask your child to look very carefully and try to remember everything that’s there. While your child has turned away remove one item. Ask your child to remember what it was. This game can be extended by removing more than one object, starting with more objects, or moving objects around instead of removing them.
Memory Trail games: Playing games such as ‘My mother went to market’ in which players are required to remember ever increasing numbers of items will stretch your childs memory and can be played in the car or in any spare moment.
