Exercise your Brain

Dear Readers,

How many of you remember the game of concentration? This is the card game where you match up pairs by memorizing the location of each card.

Another favorite game is called Chinese whispers. This is the game where a word or phrase is whispered in the first child's ear. The word or phrase is whispered to the next child and it's passed down to the last child. The last child has to announce what he heard. Usually the word or phrase is not the original word or phrase.

Games such as these are perfect because children are having fun and learning at the same time. Memory games improve memory skills and helps your child concentrate better.

Other memory games your child can play are: word association, mismatches, and communication. See article for game instructions.
