How often should my students play working memory games? Angela Watson Founder and Writer Angela created the first version of this site in , when she was a classroom teacher herself. BIV as she was trying to remember the order of the colours of the rainbow — red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet.
Throughout their school years, children are introduced to new, abstract concepts that require them to store information in both their short and long term memories — letter sounds, sight words, multiplication tables, historic dates, the periodic table and so much more. Which makes memory skills pretty important in the scheme of things! So today I am sharing a fun collection of kids memory games that are perfect for helping your child to s-t-r-e-t-c-h their brain! These games and activities require them to stop, focus, think, plan and remember, and these are all great skills that we all need to use every single day.
You can also download and print a copy of these games for your resource file at the bottom of the post be sure to jump over and grab a copy of our kids memory game ideas set 2 as well. Click through to find our collection of fifteen free, printable memory matching games.
Players take it in turns to choose any two cards. Make a successful match and you get to take another turn. No match, the cards are returned to their original position.
Success in Memory relies upon children remembering where they have seen each picture in previous turns — both those and those of the other players. The winner is the person who has matched the most pairs. With younger children, play Memory by mixing up and placing face down the pieces to simple matching 2-piece puzzles, encouraging your child to find the two pieces that make up one puzzle.
Similar to Memory but instead of matching pairs, players take turns to select a picture card to match to a baseboard. Each player selects a base board. The matching cards are shuffled and spread out on a flat surface, face down.
Players take it in turns to select a card. If the card matches an image on the players board they have made a match and get to take another turn. No match, the card is placed back down.
Place a number of household items onto a tray the more items, the more challenging the game so for younger children start with just items and increase from there. Take turns reciting the letters and numbers on a license plate and then saying them backwards, too. Kids have to keep the rules of the game in mind. They also have to remember what cards they have and which ones other people have played.
Talking out loud and asking questions about the reading material can also help with working memory. Active reading strategies like these can help with forming long-term memories, too.
Ever wonder why phone numbers and social security numbers have hyphens in them? Keep this in mind when you need to give your child multi-step directions. Write them down or give them one at a time. You can also use graphic organizers to help break writing assignments into smaller pieces. Using multiple senses to process information can help with working memory and long-term memory. Write tasks down so your child can look at them.
Say them out loud so your child can hear them. Walk through the house as you discuss the family chores your child needs to complete.
