If you suspect your child has visual perceptual delays, please seek a professional opinion. Cards that are used for memory matching games are ideal, but you can also use other matching card games if you have those on hand. In this pic, you can see this child has her set of cards laid out neatly on her left, so she can easily find them.
I try to move it so that the divider covers the line of sight to the child's own cards. This forces your child to concentrate on the revealed cards and not to try to spot them among the pool just yet. Return the divider to its place and let your child attempt to place the same cards down in the same order.
As your child improves over a few sessions, you can increase the number of cards in the sequence.

Make sure your child knows the names of all the objects you will use in Kim's Game. If your child struggles with verbal skills , then have a duplicate set of items, with some additional objects, on the side, and your child can point out the ones seen on the tray.

If your child struggles with reading, writing and spelling, I always recommend that the eyes be assessed by a behavioral optometrist. These professionals will assess whether your child's eyes are working well together in order to track the words they are reading and copying. If your child's eyes are not working together properly, then it is much more challenging for your child to remember what was seen. If this page was helpful, please share it with your friends!

Have them tell you all the objects they remember. Also, only include objects your child knows already. You can make it as difficult or as easy as possible to help stimulate your child.
This game is exactly like the magic games. Put an object under a cup and move it around amongst other cups.
As soon as you stop, your child has to figure out which cup the object is under. This is a game I always played as a child, and I loved it! You take a deck of cards and split it equally with each player. Take turns flipping them to see the face of the cards in a pile. When a Jack is turned, you have to slap it. The first person to slap it wins the pile. When you run out of cards, you are out of the game. This will help them to focus on the face of the cards to find a Jack.
Lay out pictures and have your child look at them for a few seconds. Then, they either have to draw them or tell the correct order of the pictures. You can make it as difficult or as easy as you want. You can ask any questions you like.
They will then have to recall what they saw previously to answer each question. Take turns finding an object in the environment around you and have the other person try to guess what it might be. While regular tic tac toe is good, you can change it up a bit to make it harder. Try just to use the grid. Point to where you want to go, and they have to remember whether each square is full or empty. It will be a challenge but will improve their visual memory.
Or, play tic tac toe in your garden and build some gross motor skills at the same time. As a variation to playing with these tiles, simply step into the square you choose and then step out. The players have to remember which squares are taken. Numbers must be in their proper sequence if math is going to make any sense.

You might also see that some struggles with spelling, reading, comprehension and math may actually stem from weaknesses in this critical learning skill. Tip: You can easily use these cards to build auditory sequential memory skills as well. Shape Recall — Practice 3, 4, and 5 shape visual recall.
This is a good place to start for children in grades K-2 or as extra practice for older students. Your 8 year old, on the other hand, should sail through these. Shape Recall includes one set of student shape cards, multiple teacher decks and instructions.
