Museum Memory Tray

Description

After looking closely at museum objects, try a small memory challenge with four ordinary objects at home. Which one disappeared?

What to prep

  • Tray
  • Cloth
  • Four large safe household objects
Cost: FreeBest time: Anytime

Play guide

  1. 1Put four familiar objects on a tray: spoon, sock, brush and cup. Look together, then cover them with a cloth.
  2. 2While the guesser looks away, remove one object and uncover the tray. The other person identifies what changed.
  3. 3Reveal the missing object and swap roles. Add a fifth object or change two positions for a harder round.

Success signals

The pair compares a current real arrangement with a recently viewed one and checks the change.

If it's tricky

Four objects are difficult: begin with two and leave the missing object partly visible.
