Objective

Remember as many objects as possible.

Set-Up

Lay out all objects on a flat surface and cover with a sheet.

Directions

Gather players around the area and inform them they will have 30 seconds to memorize as many objects as they can.  After 30 seconds the objects will be covered, and players can write down the objects they remember seeing.

Uncover the objects for 30 seconds and then cover them back up.

Allow players to write down what they remember seeing.  After 5 minutes have players put their names on their sheets of paper and pass them to another player.  Uncover the objects again and have players score 1 point for each correct object, and minus 1 point for an object that was listed but not in the collection.

The player with the most points wins.

 

Level Up – This can be played as a team game with teams getting a chance to work together and create a strategy.

Shorten the time they have to view the objects.

With a team game – one player at a time gets 10 seconds to look at the objects and report back to the team.
