In this way they have to move around the house and remember what they have been asked for.ĭo you remember playing “I went to the market and I bought a …….” ? Well, this is a chaining game. For example a tooth brush (so they have to go to the bathroom) or a sock (from a bedroom). To extend this game, rather than asking for objects in front of the child, ask them for objects from around the house. Start at an easy level, say 2 items and as they find this easier move on to 3 then 4.Īdult: Can you buy me a spoon and a teddy please.Īfter each go, make sure you return all the objects. You could use a little shopping basket or a bag so they can put the items in. Get a range of around 6 everyday objects – a spoon, a teddy, a bowl, a toy car etc, and ask you child to collect certain objects as they ‘shop’. Also make sure you start at an easy level and gradually make it harder – you don’t want to make it so tricky the child doesn’t want to play the game! So today I am going to write about some specific games you can play to help improve a child’s auditory memory, but do take a look at Helen’s post and encourage the child to use the strategies during the games. Helen wrote about memory and strategies to support auditory memory here. Children with reduced auditory memory can find it very challenging to follow instructions and retain learning. It allows us to process and understand longer, more complex instructions, attend and listen and acquire new information. Our auditory memory is our ability to retain and recall information we hear.
