Auditory Memory Games you can play with a PARTNER!

Rhythm Game

Clap a pattern and have your partner repeat it. Make it simple at first,
such as one slow clap, two fast ones and one slow one. When you complete the
easy patterns, increase the complexity of the rhythm and/or the loudness of the
claps. Now, let your partner become the teacher and make up the patterns for you to duplicate.


Giving Commands

Play a game of commands to increase your concentration and memory. You can play with one parther or include several. Start with three or four instructions for one partner--- for instance, say "Stand up, touch your ears, clap your hands and sit on the floor." As your partner finishes correctly, add more instructions or make them more complex!


Read and Remember

Read a simple story to your partner. At the conclusion, ask questions about it, starting with easy ones such as, using the story of the 3 Little Pigs: "Who wanted to eat the three little pigs?"

If the answers come easily to your partner, add more difficult questions --- for instance, "How did the wolf destroy the house of straw?"


Simon Says

Play the classic game Simon Says. When the leader calls out an instruction such as "Touch your nose," the players are supposed to follow the instruction only when it's accompanied by the words "Simon says." If you want, you could decide before hand to leave out the "Simon says" part and just give commands! You can make commands more complex, but saying 2 at a time, for example; "Simon Says touch your nose with one hand and your mouth with the other hand." If they do the wrong command(s), switch places!


Add to the List

Start a silly list and let your partner add to it. You can say, "I'm going to outer space, and I'm going to bring a broom." Your child says, "I'm going to outer space, and I'm going to bring a broom and an apple." Each player repeats the list and adds an item. Some people play the game by adding items in alphabetical order, so the first thing could be an apple, the second one a broom, the third a cat, and so on!
