Color, cut, and play! Memory games are a powerful visual motor activity to work on the visual perceptual skills needed for reading and writing.

These skills are lacking when it comes to more and more screen use in kids and we see the results in poor handwriting, poor visual attention in reading, and poor visual memory skills.

Start off the school year with a game that assesses skills!

Add this Back-to-School Memory Game and Writing Prompt activity to your back-to-school therapy sessions and quickly assess current skills after the summer break. By asking kids to write in a short list, you can get a grasp on current skill levels of letter formation, line use, spacing, sizing, margin use. Use the cards to assess scissor skills, coloring, motor skills, and underlying areas like bilateral coordination, grasp, and precision.
