Title: Kim`s game
Category: Game, math, memory, language
General Purpose:
1. The children will learn to pay attention
2. Language training
Specific objectives:
1. Pay attention
2. Use their memory - remember
3. Name the objects
4. Have a good time

Methods and techniques:
The teacher first tell the children the rules and then the children are “controlling” the game.

Material: A blanket and different objects (toys or things related to a project/theme)

Place: Inside or outside the kindergarten

Duration: 15-45 minutes. It depends on the children and the number of objects.

Description of the activity:
1. Collect some items (for our 3 year olds we have 4-8 items, but you can choose how many
you want to use). We mostly use items the children know, like different toys, fruits,
pencils and so on. You will also need a blanket to cover the things.
2. Lay all the items in front of the children, say what each thing is called and give them
some time to memorize. Then you cover the things with the blanket and take a way one
(or more) of the items.
3. Let the children guess what’s gone.

Assessment:
In this game the children are really enthusiastic and they want to play it over and over again.
It`s a great way for them to learn to pay attention, wait for their turn, be quiet when others
have to think and use their memory to find out what`s missing.
