Activity

  • Shopping for food items using memory

Which skills are developed?

  • Visual memory – storing and recalling information from previously viewed things
  • Visual scanning and tracking – moving the eyes from left to right to focus on and follow an object
  • Visual sequential memory – recalling things in a sequence

What you’ll need

  • Piece of paper
  • Textas
  • Toy shopping items, real items from your kitchen or pictures cut out from magazines

Details

  • As your little one’s visual memory skills improve you can increase the number of items on the shopping list
  • If your little one is finding it a bit tricky, choose items within the same category initially (e.g. fruit) before including other categories (e.g. vegetables, boxed foods, canned goods)

Combined Videos

Combining several foundation skills, our PlayBiz Play-a-Long videos run for 10 minutes or so. We’ve carefully ordered the activities so they enable your youngster to have an optimal learning experience and develop the skills they’ll need for school by joining in the ‘teachable moments’. Picture a fun and educational TV program like PlaySchool crossed with an occupational therapy session that’s chock full of strategies. Ready, steady, learn! Please note: The Play-a-Long videos don’t need to be viewed in any particular order.
