Memory development is an important part of a child’s intellectual and emotional development. Through play, children learn to concentrate, memorize information, and train their attention.
Here are 10 simple and fun games that will help develop your child’s memory at home or during classes at the center:
“Remember the objects” — place several objects in front of your child, give them 30 seconds, and then ask them to name what they remember.
“What has changed?” — remove or replace one item after observation.
“Word chain” — repeat words in turn, adding a new one each time.
“Matching pictures” (memory) — look for pairs of identical images.
“Sequence of movements” — show a series of movements, and the child must repeat them.
“Shop” — the child memorizes what to buy without prompts.
“What did I hear?” — reproduce the sounds of household items or nature.
“Color circle” — name colors in a certain sequence, and the child repeats them.
“Picture story” — make up a short story based on pictures.
“Guess who’s missing” — in a game with friends or toys: one “disappears,” and the child has to name who it is.
Such games not only develop memory, but also improve thinking, attention, and speech.
Most importantly, they create a positive emotional experience and help children learn with interest.
