Description
Are your students struggling to remember shapes, numbers, letters, or sight words? Do you need to improve the visual and working memory of your students? Use this School Visual Memory Activities Packet to help build those skills. The activities can be used for handwriting practice or students can give their answers verbally. Great for literacy centers, special education small groups, early finishers or speech and language or occupational therapy activities.
How to Complete the Activity
Directions: Show your students the desired page/or number of cards for 20 seconds to one minute. Have them memorize the objects then tell you what they remember or record their answers on one of the worksheets provided. Help them with strategies such as labeling the pictures they see in their mind or think about taking a “mental picture” of what they see.
What is Included in the School Visual Memory Activities Packet?
This packet includes:
- Worksheets with and without the images and words are included for students to record their answers. Color and BW options are available.
- 24 school tools are pictured in total
- differentiated pages for students of varying abilities. Pages are included with 6, 10, and 20 images to remember.
Individual pictures are also included and can be used as a matching game or you can choose how many images to show your students. Copy, cut out and laminate the pictures to use multiple times.
OT Tip: Building a student’s visual memory will help them recognize numbers, letters, and sight words. It will also help them copy information from a board, keyboard from memory, or record information without having to keep checking back to the sample.
