FUN LEARNING GAMES

Every mother knows how hard it is to make a child sit down to study as their boundless energy just won’t allow them to sit still at one place.  There are so many fun and simple games to play which promotes learning and enhances their memory at the same time.  Here are some easy games to play at home with your kids.

1. ALPHABET MEMORY

This is a great brain-teaser for children of all ages so that they can remember words.

NUMBER OF PLAYERS: 2+

Activity:

Start with the first letter of the alphabet so player one starts with A and says “A is for —” filling in any word beginning with the letter A such as APPLE,

ANT, ANIMAL etc.

The second player uses the letter B but must also

remember what A was for! For instance they

will say “A is for APPLE and B is for BOX”.

The third player starts with A and B and then adds in a word starting with the letter C which makes the statement something like “A is for APPLE, B is for BOY and C is for CAT”.

As the game goes on, it becomes harder and harder to remember the previous words!
