Exercises for preschoolers to develop attention and memory
First exercise “Remember and Tell”
In this exercise various objects are drawn. Look carefully at these items and remember them. The child is given ten seconds to memorize.
Now close the picture and tell from memory what is drawn here. Older children can draw these pictures from memory.
Second exercise “Name what you see”
Talk a lot and constantly with your child; the more he listens to you, the more he will concentrate on what you are telling him.
At home, you can show your child different objects, unusual objects, for example, a figurine. Tell us what kind of figurine it is, where you got it from, which figurine is big or small, who is depicted on the figurine, what material it is made of, the child will be interested in all this.
On the street at any time of the year, you can teach a child, tell what flowers are blooming, describe these flowers in more detail, what birds live in your city, and show them to the child, look at beautiful houses, fountains, monuments and so on.
The child gets to know the world around him together with you, he is interested in everything that you tell and show him, he loves to listen and touch.
Then you can take one thing, for example, a leaf from a tree and examine it carefully with your child. What leaf, from which tree, what color is the leaf, what size, and so on.
Third exercise “Tell and do”
It is very important to teach a child to concentrate on even the simplest task. Draw with your child together. Give your child a task to draw, for example, a house, sun and grass.
Explain to the child out loud what he should do first, correct him, pronounce every movement of the child. Communicate more with your child and comment out loud on his actions.
Teach your child to perform all actions sequentially. Gradually, the child will learn to do everything consistently, independently.
Fourth exercise “Find the object”
The game, find the object, is well suited for developing attention and memory. Come up with some object that is in the room so that the child knows this object well.
For example, it could be a doll.
Describe the doll in as much detail as possible, what it is like, what size and color it is, what can be done with this doll, what the doll is wearing, what kind of hair, eyes it has, and so on.
If the child quickly guesses what is being said, take another object and repeat the exercise.
Try to play the other way around, let the child come up with some object and describe it in detail, and you try to guess what kind of object it is.
Fifth exercise “Let's look at each other”
The exercise, let's see, looks at each other well, develops your child's attention and memory, it is very simple, interesting and fun. Your child will enjoy playing this game. You can play this game on the way to kindergarten, on the way to the store, and so on.
Give your child the opportunity to look at you carefully for a few seconds. Then he turns away and tells you everything he remembers about you.
For example, hair color, description of your face, what you are wearing, what color, and so on. If the child could not tell much, do not scold him, play this game again. Studying you, the second time the child will be more attentive than the first time.
You can even play this game in reverse, look at your child, turn away and describe what you remember. Your child will draw conclusions, he will compare your detailed description with his description and understand what he missed in the story. You can talk through these conclusions while delving into the details together.
Sixth exercise “Disturb me”
Interesting exercise, disturb me. Here you can play together - dad, mom and child.
The role of the father is to ask different questions to the child, for example, what color is the cube, does the car have wheels, where is the ball, what is your name, and so on. The child must answer questions quickly.
The mother's role is to distract the child when he answers questions. If your child was able to answer the questions without getting distracted, reward him. Next time he will try even better.
This game can be played by two people, for example, a child recites a poem or retells a fairy tale, and you distract him.
Seventh exercise “Be attentive”
Recently, children's books often offer memory development exercises. For example:
A picture is drawn, from the fairy tale “Kolobok”, the child looks at it and remembers what is depicted on it.
After one minute, the book closes and the child must tell what he remembers. This is a simple task, but it trains your memory well.
If the child remembers little or says it incorrectly, play together. Look at the picture, close it and try to tell in great detail what you remember.
The child will listen carefully to your story and, remembering the next picture, he will try to remember as much as possible. Children always love it when adults play interesting and educational games with them.
Eighth exercise “Try to remember”
You can develop observation, attention and visual memory in different ways. Let's consider one of them. This exercise is fun to do with several children at the same time.
For example:
For children, let's take five different objects; the objects can be completely different. It could be a pencil, a typewriter, a colored eraser, a doll, or a jump rope.
Let the children look at all these items, then put them in a dark bag.
The child is given one minute to memorize. The guys should take turns telling what they remember. If you are playing together with a child, memorize the items one by one and tell each other.
Each next lesson, try to reduce the memorization time and increase the number of items.
Ninth exercise “Look and remember”
