1. Remember the words in order. Name a few words that the child must remember and repeat in the same order. To begin with, you can use only a few words in the game - 3-5. Then you can complicate the rules of the game by increasing the number of words. For example: house, sun, porridge, light bulb, dog.
  2. Who is lost? We put a few toys in front of the baby (no more than 5-6 pieces) and ask them to remember them. Then the baby leaves the room, and we quickly hide one of the toys. When he returns, the child must carefully determine who ran away and got lost.
  3. House. For this game, we take several toys (different toys from Kinder Surprises, small cars, etc. Small toys are suitable). We ask the child to remember the toys. After the baby reports that he remembered, we hide the toys in the “house” (a regular box can play the role of the house). We ask the child to remember all the toys that were hidden. After all the toys have been guessed, you can switch roles, and now the mother guesses who hid in the house.
  4. Pictures. Any colored pictures will work for this game, if you have a book with a lot of pictures, feel free to take it. We show the child a picture and ask him to remember everything that is depicted on it. After the baby has looked and remembered everything, we remove the picture and ask the child to reproduce everything he saw from memory.
  5. Shop. We send the child to the “shop” and name what needs to be bought (to start with no more than 4-5 items). For example, bread, ice cream, milk, cheese, chocolate. The kid runs into another room and lists everything he wants to buy from his dad-“seller”. Over time, we increase the shopping list. You can play this game in a real store. When you leave the house, tell your child what you need to buy in the store. When you get to the store, let the kid help you choose the necessary products from memory.
  6. Scouts. Before going outside, we announce the start of the game to the child and explain the conditions. It is necessary to remember everything on the street, where everything is, what is happening, and when you return home, “report” to your dad what you saw, focusing on the details: what color is the car in the yard, who you met in the store, how many cats were running near the neighboring entrance ...
  7. Portrait. We suggest that the baby look carefully at the mother and remember what she is wearing. Then the mother goes into another room and changes something in her image, for example, puts on a hat, scarf or changes one skirt to another. Returns to the room. The child looks carefully at the mother and reports what has changed in her image.
  8. Let's dance. This game helps develop motor memory. We turn on the music and play some simple movement to it. For example, squat down, stand up, and then raise your arms up. Later, the number of movements can be increased. The child, in turn, remembers the mother's movements, and then plays them from memory.
  9. Repeat. For the game we use improvised materials: buttons, coins, counting sticks. Using the listed items, we lay out a simple image, for example, a house or the number 1. We suggest that the child remember the image, after which the baby reproduces what he saw.
  10. Drawing. Draw a simple drawing on a sheet of paper, for example, a circle, a triangle, a square. Show the image to the child for a few seconds, then remove it and the child must reproduce the drawing on his sheet. First, the drawings are created with a simple pencil, then you can complicate them with different colors, shapes, and the number of objects depicted on the sheet of paper.
  11. Find the picture. We show the child a card with animals depicted on it. After the child has looked carefully and remembered, we remove the card. Then we lay out several cards with different animals depicted on them in front of the child, including the one that the child remembered. We ask the child to look carefully at the pictures and indicate the one that was shown to him. At first, you can limit yourself to 4-5 cards, then we complicate the exercise by increasing the number of pictures.
  12. Words. This game can be played both alone and with a group of children. We call a word (for example, the sun), the child remembers it, repeats it and adds any additional word (for example, lake). The next player (or again you, if you are playing together with a child) calls all the previously listed words and adds one new word (for example, the sun, lake, camel). The game continues until one of the players can reproduce all the previously named words.
  13. Find 10 differences. The child is shown two pictures that have slight differences from each other. The child, having carefully studied the pictures, must find these differences and name them.
  14. Memory. We take several pairs of cards (it is better to take a small number to start with). We show the child the pictures depicted on the cards. Then we turn them over face up. We suggest that the child open the cards in pairs. If the images match, then they are removed from the game. If the pictures are different, then we turn them over face up again and return them to their place.
  15. Actions. We suggest that the child perform actions in a certain order. For example, go to your table, take a red marker and take it to the kitchen.
The listed memory development games require almost no preparation, but are very interesting for children. So imperceptibly, during the game, you will easily train your child's memory, which he will need in the future.
