Make a pattern

Do you want to find out whether your child is a visual learner or an auditory learner?  Try this!

I have this box of cubes that was donated by a teacher in my school.  You can use these cubes in  many different ways.  If you have Lego blocks, you can use them too.

First, I tell the kids to make a pattern of the cubes without showing them the actual color pattern, only by listening to the directions.  Then I just wait and see if they can make it without extra verbal cues. 
Second, I show them a pattern of cubes and ask kids to make the same pattern without looking at the sample.  I hide my sample pattern while they're trying to make it.  See if the kids can remember and replicate what they saw before.



Do you want to challenge them? Make the pattern a little harder by giving them more colors.  For children who are visual learners, I would like to suggest playing the game focusing on auditory comprehension and memory, and the other way around.  Hence, children can strengthen their weakness by playing and having fun.

Enjoy playing!
