Family Memory Game

This variation on the traditional memory game fosters the retelling of family stories as well as helping build memory skills.
Materials:
Place several pieces of family memorabilia in box – fewer for younger children, more for older kids and adults.
How To Play:
Show the items in the box. Remove one or more items out of the box (without the players seeing you). Have the players guess what items are missing.
For older children and adults put items on large tray or cookie sheet. Cover. Remove cover for 20-30 seconds and then recover. On your mark, the participants write down as many items that they can remember from the tray before you yell, "STOP". The most correct answers wins.
