Does your child struggle with their short term memory? When people struggle with remembering short term information AND using that information to complete a task, it is possible they could use some skill building for their working memory. Here's a fun game to help build your working memory: ABC recall - one person starts by saying something like, "I'm going to the beach and I am bringing Apples." The next person says "I am going to the beach and I am bringing Apples and Blankets." (a for apples, b for blankets and next... you guessed it, "c") The next person repeats where you are going and "Apples, blankets and Cards" Go through as many letters as can be remembered! This can be played with two or more people.
Research shows that completing activities to build your working memory for just 5 minutes a day can make significant improvements in just a few weeks. Try it!
