📅 Spot-It September!
Each week, we’re sharing 4 creative ways to play that challenge the brain, boost focus, and make learning fun for all ages. Whether you’re at home, in a classroom, or using it in therapy, there’s a version for YOU!
✨ This month’s Spot-It September twists:
1️⃣ Traditional – Classic match-it-fast gameplay
2️⃣ Memory Chain – Match a pair, flip it down, then match another and recall both previous matches. Keep going and test your memory chain!
3️⃣ Deck Hunt – Call out a random image and race to find all the matching images in the deck.
4️⃣ Room Match – Place cards in separate rooms and race to find a match across spaces—great for adding movement and spatial challenge!
🎲 Traditional Spot It! builds:
🟣 Form Constancy: Recognize images even when their size, angle, or position changes
📸 Visual Memory: Recall visual details and previously seen images
🔁 Sequential Memory: Track and remember the order of matches during fast play
🔎 Visual Discrimination: Spot subtle differences between similar symbols
🧠 Figure-Ground Perception: Find the one match hidden in visual clutter
🧩 Closure: Mentally complete partially seen or overlapping images
🎲How to play: Each player gets one card; the rest go in a center stack. Everyone looks for the one matching symbol between their card and the center card. First to spot it calls it out and takes the center card, replacing the previous card. Keep playing until the stack is gone. The player with the most cards wins!
Perfect for families, teachers, and therapists looking for screen-free, brain-boosting fun.
🎯 Fast play. Sharp focus. Big gains.
