Kim's Game

Friday 19th June 2020

Good morning boys and girls :-). As we only have 1 week to go before our holidays this will be the last challenge that I put up on our Learning Hub.  This will be the 86th challenge that I have put up since the start of lockdown so there should be plenty of activities to try out if you are bored during the holidays!  I hope that you have enjoyed them and thanks to everyone who has tried some and shared their experiences over the last few months.

Our last challenge is a classic game for all the family and great for improving your memory skills.  Put a variety of objects on a tray (5 is quite a good number to start with) and ask a partner to look carefully at them for about thirty seconds. Take the tray away and ask them to call out what they remember. Another way of playing the game is to cover the things, take one thing away and ask your partner to spot what is missing. You can put more things on the tray as they get better. (The name, Kim’s Game, come’s from Rudyard Kipling’s 1901 novel Kim, in which the hero, Kim, plays the game during his training as a spy.). Enjoy!
