Playing is fun and learning can be too!

Memory Game! Ages 3+

Kysen and I had fun playing this easy memory game!

Plate = tap the ground
Red Cup = tap your head
Purple cup = clap your hands

Memory games improve critical thinking skills, exercise the brain, sharpen problem solving skills, improve spatial skills and enhance visual perception.

Materials:
5 plates
2 different color cups

First Kysen and I talked about what motion each material represented.

Plate = tap the ground Red Cup = tap your head

Purple Cup = clap your hands

Then I challenged him with different patterns using the plates and cups.

Here is a video of Kysen doing the activity!
