Number Echo
Ages 8–11 · 5 minutes · You’ll need: Nothing
Hold numbers in your head and say them back, forwards and then backwards.
Set up
Sit facing each other, or let this device show the numbers.
How to play
- Say three numbers slowly: “4… 9… 2.”
- Your child says them back in the same order.
- Got it? Add one more number next time.
- Then try backwards: “4, 9, 2” becomes “2, 9, 4”.
- Swap roles: you get tested too.
What to say
- “Say them in your head as I go.”
- “Try grouping them: 49… 2.”
Easier: Three numbers, forwards only.
Harder: Backwards, with five or more numbers.
End with one question: “What trick helped you hold the numbers?”
