Memorizing Letters
20 min
2 participantsUnderstanding spatial organization of a page. Read, memorize and locate letters on an alphabetical base plate.
Let's play!
Player 1 : Pick 4 letters from the bowl, place them randomly on the empty base plate and pass it to Player 2.
Player 2 : Read the 4 letters.
Player 2 : Remember as many letters as possible and return the plate to Player 1.
Player 2 : Pick all the letters from the alphabetical base plate that you remembered and move them to the bottom.
Both players : Compare and discuss the letters.
How to prepare
2 base plates
2 identical sets of letter bricks, from “A” to “Z”
1 bowl
Arrange a set of letters in alphabetical order on one of the base plates.
Place the rest of the bricks in the bowl.
Facilitation tips
Ask “Compare strategy for remembering and finding the bricks”.
Ask them “How can we make this activity easier/harder/for more players?”.
Possible variations
Start with fewer alphabet bricks, from “A” to “J”.
Change the number of letters to be remembered.
Add a timer: more or less time to read / to find the correct letters.
