Team memory
Team memory is a sequence game for the interactive whiteboard or a tablet. Each half of the screen has its own grid: squares light up in order and each team taps them back the same way, at its own pace. Every correct round scores a point and the next sequence is one square longer.
What children practise
- Visuospatial working memory: holding positions and their order in mind.
- Repeating a series in the order it was shown, as it grows longer each time.
- Spatial awareness on a 2 x 2, 3 x 3 or 4 x 4 grid.
- Sustained attention while the sequence plays, without tapping too early.
- With the numbers option, linking each position to its ordinal (1st, 2nd, 3rd...).
Levels and settings
Early years
2 x 2 or 3 x 3 grid, sequences starting at 2 squares (3 on Hard) and slow speed.
Years 1-2
3 x 3 grid (4 x 4 on Hard), starting at 2 or 3 squares.
Years 3-4
4 x 4 grid, starting at 3, 4 or 5 squares; fast speed on Hard.
Settings
Grid, starting squares, speed (slow, normal or fast), order numbers and 3, 5 or 8 points to win.
How to play it in class
- Open the game and choose the year and difficulty; change the grid, speed or points if you like.
- Name the two teams, or choose On my own for one child.
- Watch the sequence: when it ends, each team taps the squares in the same order on its own grid.
- After a mistake, that team gets a new sequence of the same length. The game goes to the first team to reach the set number of points.
Ways to play
In teams, at the same time
The screen splits in two and each team plays on its own half at the same time.
For one player
One child plays on the whole screen at their own pace: on the whiteboard, a computer or a tablet.
Frequently asked questions
Can early years children play?
Yes. There is nothing to read, and early years start with a 2 x 2 or 3 x 3 grid, short sequences and slow speed.
What happens when a team makes a mistake?
The square is marked, no point is scored and the team gets another sequence of the same length. The other team carries on at its own pace.
What is the numbers option for?
It shows each square's place in the order while it lights up. It helps beginners and is handy for practising ordinal numbers.
