Many children and parents play Memory together. In addition to learning new words, it is also a fun joint use of time.

Crafting Puzzle game

In the puzzle game the children drag the pictures to the correct space. It is reminiscent of the old-fashioned wooden puzzle game with a modern twist.

If a picture has been dragged into the correct box, the corresponding word (with article) is pronounced. After 4 pictures have been placed, the child hears applause. The pictures are then highlighted one by one and the corresponding word is spoken again.

This game teaches children how to pronounce words and stimulates the development of hand-eye-coordination.
