Literacy Activity

• Memory Tray Game. The facilitator brings a tray of objects and has them covered up. Parents are instructed to observe each object but not write anything down. Each item is presented to the parents. Parents are then given a piece of paper and pen to write down the objects they have seen. The facilitator can tell the parents how many items were on the tray. This activity can be timed if you prefer. Take up how many items the parents remembered. Discuss memory tricks and how parents remembered the items on the tray. Share this information with everyone. If many parents had difficulty with remembering the items, repeat this activity during next class with different objects. Let parents know this is a great activity to do with their own children

Review

Homework
