* * MEMORY-tray Game * *

"YOU and your friends can test your memory with this simple tray game.

ASK a grown-up to make up a tray in secret with lots of different everyday objects on it.

FOR example, there could be a pencil, an apple, a sharpener, a sweet, a pair of scissors, a roll of sticky tape, a carrot, a key, a bar of soap, a cotton reel, a toothbrush, a feather, a clothes peg, a coin, a paper clip, a pebble, a pot plant, a golf ball, an onion - anything they can find really.  THEY musn't show you yet and they should cover the items with a tea towel until you are ready to start.

THE tray is then uncovered and you have one or two minutes to memorise as many of the things on it as you can before it is taken away.

WHEN the tray has gone, you must each write down as many of the things as you can remember.  Congratulations to the person who remembers the most items" (compliments Milly-Molly-Mandy).
