Our Philosophy

 

Where's my twin

Sharpen your preschooler's memory skills by creating your own memory game.

Number of Kids:

1-3 is good for this game.


Materials

Directions

  1. Create two identical sets of index cards with letters of the alphabet, colour's, shapes, or numbers.

 

How the Game is Played

  1. Place all the cards, face down, on the table.
  2. Have your child turn over one card, then put it back, face down, on the table, and try to find the corresponding matching card.
  3. You can determine the number of tries allowed, and can make a game out of this between two or more children.
  4. At first your child may only guess, but it won't take long for her to get the idea.

Tips for Adults

Begin the game with only a few cards, and add more as your child gets better; don't overwhelm them with too many cards at once.
