"I went to market"

Materials You Need: None

What You Can Do Together: One player begins by saying, “I went to the market today and bought… [names an item].” The next player must add an item of their own, while also recalling the previous items said, in the same order. Players take it in turns to keep adding a new item to the list. Continue adding and recalling the items until someone makes a mistake –– then you can start all over again!

This game doesn’t have to be limited to the ‘market’! How about trying different variations like the beach or a desert island instead?

What Your Child is Learning:  This activity is a great memory test for kids as they try to recall items from an ever-expanding list. It’s a great social game for both small or large groups and is sure to build kids’ confidence in public speaking!
