Memory Tray
Ages 4–7 · 10 minutes · You’ll need: A tray, a tea towel and 5 to 10 small objects
The classic memory game: look closely, then spot what has gone.
Set up
Put five small objects on a tray, or play on this device.
How to play
- Look at the tray together for 30 seconds.
- Name the objects out loud as you look.
- Cover the tray while one thing is taken away.
- Uncover it. What’s missing?
- Swap roles, and add one more object each round.
What to say
- “How will you remember them all?”
- “Try making up a little story with the objects.”
Easier: Three objects and a whole minute to look.
Harder: Ten objects, 20 seconds, and two things go missing.
End with one question: “What trick helped you remember?”
