BUILD YOUR

                             MEMORY




                •   Children place their 6 bricks, separately, in front of
                    them.
                •   Teacher is going to flash two bricks.  Hold the bricks
                    vertically.  Show the bricks quickly then hide them.
                    Ask the children to build the sequence.
                •   Children build the sequence and correct if
                    necessary.
                •   The children must then break down their bricks
                    completely.
                •   Now the teacher keeps the first two bricks the same
                    and adds one more brick.  Again flash the sequence
                    of bricks (vertically) quickly.
                •   Children build the 3 sequence of bricks.  Correct if
                    necessary.
                •   Children then break down their brick sequence
                    completely.
                •   The teacher keeps the 3 bricks the same and
                    adds one more brick.  Again flash the sequence
                    of bricks.
                •   Children build the 4 sequence of bricks.
                    Correct if necessary.
                •   Teacher continues with this exercise
                    up to building a 6 brick sequence.


                                                           Variations:
                                                          •   Flash 5 or 6 bricks (held vertically).  Ask the
                                                              children to build the sequence tracking from left to
                                                              right. Children must then build the sequence seeing
                                                              how many bricks they can build correctly.

                                                          Q:     Can you complete the sequence in reverse
                                                                 order?
                                                          Q:     Can you complete the sequence from top to
                                                                 bottom?
                                                          Q:     Can you complete the sequence from bottom to
                                                                 top?
