What cognitive functions does this activity work?
This activity works selective attention, through a cancellation type task. The child must find a picture every time it appears among a set of images.
Application in daily life
This activity is useful for quickly detecting an object among many. For example, a specific toy in a box full of games or a specific pen in a case full of them.
Version with letters
This activity is comparable to “Hide-and-Seek with Letters”, in which children have to point out all the letters that are the same as the one above.
The new exercise we present today is with images, instead of letters, since children are always more motivated by images, and there are some children who have not yet mastered them.
