Number of players: Four or more
You will need: Flashcards
How to play: Pick up three to five cards each and show it to the class, for a few seconds.
Turn the cards away, shuffle them and show only two of the cards. Ask the class what cards are missing.
You can have two volunteers to show and hold the cards. In that case, you could also ask which card the person was holding before.
This game may seem too simple for higher classes, but the younger ones will enjoy exercising their memory.
17. Picture this
Picture this is suitable for students in high school or middle school. It involves paying attention to details.
Number of players: Two or more
You will need: Two or more images with a lot of detail
How to play: Pick a couple of pictures from the Internet – have at least three to four images, with at least one image that can be memorized easily.
Start by showing the simpler image to the class. Let them see it for a couple of minutes and memorize it. Ask them to notice the details carefully.
Take the image away and ask them questions such as – ‘Was there anything red in the picture?’ or ‘Where was the man with the beard standing in the room’ depending on the image and the details.
Note that the idea is to help children jog their memory to recall something and not pose difficult questions. So pick questions about a few evident details that most kids notice, along with a couple that only a few observant ones do.
