Memory Game

This is a fun game with a serious purpose - to develop concentration and learning skills. Your child's brain is an amazingly flexible and responsive muscle and it will develop really quickly with only a little exercise.  

You'll need six toys or everyday household objects. Lay them out in front of your child and give them 30 seconds to remember what's there.

Then have them close their eyes whilst you remove one object. When they open their eyes they have to tell you which object you've removed.

You can make this game more advanced by having more objects to begin with, and/or moving the objects around when you remove one. You can play along too - just close your eyes whilst your child removes an object and guess what they've removed.
