Tray Memory Game
Look at the objects on the tray.
Then cover the tray with a piece of
paper and draw the objects you can
remember on the tray on the right.
Variation: Play at Home With Real Objects
1. Place several small items on a tray at home and
have a friend or family member say the name of
each object out loud to remember it.
2. Cover the tray and ask the person to try to name
all the objects on the tray.
3. Start with just a few objects. Then if the person
remembers them all, keep adding more and
playing again.
Play with a deck of 52 playing
cards.
Shuffle and spread all of the
cards out on a flat surface, face
down.
Players take turns choosing any
two cards. (A match is two cards
with the same number or face
card. For example, a two of
hearts and a two of clubs is a
match. Two Jacks are a match.)
If the cards match, then the
player keeps the cards and goes
again. If the cards don't match,
turn the cards back over and
leave them in the same place.
Play until all the cards have
been picked up. The winner is
the person with the most pairs.
Long car rides are a
great time to play
memory games.
A classic memory
game is "I Went to
the Store …"
Each person in the car
takes turns adding
grocery items in
alphabetical order.
The first player says,
"I went to the store and
I bought APPLES."
The next player says,
"I went to the store and
I bought apples and
BANANAS."
Each player must
repeat every item on
the list before adding
an item starting with
the next letter of the
alphabet. It's gets
tricky!
"I went to the store
and bought apples,
bananas, carrots, dog
food, eggs, fish …"
Can your family make
it all the way to the
letter Z?
