Memory

Basket 'O Things

In need of a quick game to boost bonding time and brain activity (in young and old alike)?

Memory!

This version requires no money and no prep. 

Simply collect a few items from around the house and a scarf to cover them up. 

For O, we started with three items, gave her a minute to look and feel them over before covering them up for her to recall.

Tips for increasing the value of the game.

~have the items coincide with a theme you're studying or about to introduce

~use items for practicing vocabulary from a new language

~toss in items that relate and add one item that does not, which the player must point out

~ask your child to collect items for you to play
