Do any of you remember playing Kim’s Game when you were younger? This is a simple, fun game to enjoy with your child at home and will develop his/her memory skills, concentration and ability to take turns.
Encourage your child to choose a small selection of items (4 – 6 initially) from around the house and sit them on a tray or a table.
Cover the objects with a towel then see how many items that your child can name.
Once they are confident to do this, ask your child to close their eyes, take one item away from under the towel and see if he/she can say what is missing.
Take turns as a family to take an object away.
If your child needs a further challenge, you could take two objects away or add to the number of items on the tray.
We hope that you have lots of fun playing together.
