Test your memory

From the game created, suggest to them:

To follow the rule of the Traditional Wedding Game (equivalent to the Memory© game published by Ravensburger) based on these illustrations inspired by the short film Lost Property by Åsa Lucander. This is detailed on cards numbered 1 to 4. Depending on the age of the students, the number of pairs will be reduced (4x4, 4x5, 4x6 or 5x6).

To test their memory from the animated film. Place the students in pairs and ask them to keep only one copy of each of the 18 different images in front of them. After viewing, ask them to try to place them in the chronological order of the appearance of their equivalent on the screen. Compare the proposals obtained and see if we collectively reach a consensus. Check with rewatch.

To realize the benefit of giving meaning to the information to be retained in order to memorize it better. Mix one of the sets of 18 illustrations and review them one by one, being careful not to change the order of the packet by asking students to remember the order. Then collectively check how the cards are memorized (keep in memory the number of cards correctly memorized using this technique before the first error). Repeat the operation after shuffling the deck, gradually telling a story that involves each card turned over. When we try again to remember the order and content of the cards, we will see that memorization is significantly better. The excellent game “Dream on” by Alexandre Droit gives a particularly addictive playful and cooperative aspect to this activity.
