FOCUS & MEMORY
😍 Our Cheeky Munchkins seen here, enjoying their memory game together
🧠 Playing memory games can improve other brain functions, such as attention, concentration, and focus
👀 Memory games can improve visual recognition of objects and themes
💭 Short-term memory is key to playing memory games and playing them often will improve function in this area
🤩 From revealing a card to plotting their next move, children can learn the importance of thinking ahead and plotting their next choice

Love seeing the Cheeky Munchkins playing memory games! It's amazing how it enhances attention and concentration too. Keep up the great work! 👍
Sorting out our shapes using a shape sorter!
When children play with shapes, they develop:
💛 Their problem solving skills, as they keep trying to fit the shape in until they get it
🖐🏼 Counting skills, as they are encouraged to count the shapes as they place them into the sorter
🤩 Social skills, as they talk to each other about the different shapes
The Cheeky Munchkins loved this activity!
