Memory Movement Game

• Draw shapes, numbers, simple words, colors, etc., on paper plates. Each shape or word needs to have a matching plate.

• Use crayons or colored pencils. Markers will show through.

• Arrange plates face down in a group or array.

• Have a starting line away from the plates.

• On a signal child will do a locomotor skill (jog, hop, skip, crawl,etc) to the plates and turn over 2 plates hoping to get a match.

• If they don’t find a match they will turn plates back over and return to the starting line.

• Then they try it again with another locomotor skill. If they do find a match they can attempt to find another match.

Game ends when all the matches are found.

Lots of fun and variations can be used depending on time and ability. How can you change this game? How can you challenge a family member? Can you do it with more plates?
