Memory Game
The activity – Paper Plate Alphabet Memory Game
Skills covered - Turn-taking, social interaction, attention & listening
In a nutshell this is a king-size variation of the good old pair matching game.

What you need – A dozen paper plates and pens
Sequencing Skills for Younger Children - Everyday Activities
Choose some everyday sequencing activities and encourage the child to carry them out e.g.:
Making a cup of juice
Making a sandwich
Drawing a person
Play sequences-making a railway track, making pretend meals
Dressing
Any activity where a sequence of actions is required. Comment on what the child is doing as they are carrying out the activity. Give the child a turn at talking about what they are doing. Silly me! Carry out an activity but pretend that you have forgotten how to do it or do silly things e.g. leave the juice bottle lid on while making a drink, carry out the activity in the wrong order. Give the child an opportunity to tell you how to do the activity/what you did wrong. Model the use of first, next, and then, last.
