Child Memory Games

Improve Concentration and Memory

Child memory games give children the opportunity to exercise their brains and help to improve their language and concentration skills as well as their memory. Surrounding children with books, puzzles and generally providing an enriching environment has been shown to stimulate their developmental growth and capacity for learning. So what sorts of child memory games are appropriate and how technical is all this? Not complex at all, read on...
Simple memory games to play with younger children can involve asking which sound matches which animal, or what colours certain household objects are; 'What colour is a banana, what colour are your socks?'
Once your children reach four or five years of age they will enjoy looking at books that challenge them to spot the difference or find hidden items on a page.
Use playing cards to play Concentration or other similar games of finding pairs. Once they begin to recognize the alphabet you can challenge them in letter recognition and sounds. Other specific memory games can be played easily at home with individual children or in a group.
