Kindergarten Readiness – Visual Memory #2

Who remembers yesterday’s activity? The topic for this week is promoting the development of visual memory skills. Again, use a tray of about 10 small objects (more if your little one needs an increased challenge or fewer if this is not yet a strong skill for your child). These could be a lego block, toy car, pencil, elastic band, etc. Say the names with your child and discuss the items. Then, cover them with a towel and while your child closes his/her eyes take one away. Take off the towel and ask your child what one is missing. Put the object back, cover them again and this time you can hide your eyes while your child takes one away. Can you name the missing item? Because the number of items can be varied, it is adaptable to children of different ages and adults, too. This is another of those games that kids do better than I can. How about your house? Do the kids win or the adults?
