Simple Preschool Concentration Game

I first spotted this concentration game in a book my mom gave me last week called Preschooler’s Busy Book.  It was published way back in 1998 and a lot of things inside are outdated, but there is also a lot you can work with.  It’s a really great resource for coming up with new things to do with the little ones. 

Preschool Concentration Game – Who’s Missing?

This premise is simple:

  • Line up a few toys (I started with three, you can work your way up as they go.)
  • Have them take a good look and name each toy they see.
  • Then, have them close there eyes and you remove one toy.
  • Have them open their eyes and try to remember what used to be in that now empty space.

I love this concept because I am always looking for ways I can sit and play with Brady while secretly working on a skill.  Being at work for the majority of my day only leaves a few hours of time to spend with him each night and I like having something simple like this to do with him.

This activity doesn’t take planning, or craftiness or a big mess. Plus, it’s fun!
