Building Memory

Compass students throughout all grade levels are taking part in an educational game geared to develop and nurture memory skills, concentration, and imagination.  To play the game, the students, working in groups, take turns looking at visually-stimulating images on game cards that vary in difficulty according to grade level.  When the timer runs out, they are asked a series of questions about the images- What color is the girl’s hat?  What is the clown holding in his hand?  Is the cat looking at the sky or the chicken?  etc.  The object is to see how much they can recall.  Group participation skills are nurtured through this activity in addition to incorporating reasoning skills.  As a side bar, the students are exposed to wonderful vintage prints, album covers, and classic story covers.
