Initial Thoughts and Concepts

A development on the ‘memory game’.


Creating tactile memory games for children with visual impairment, this would develop the awareness of touch and feel, also enabling the child to remember the different tactile surfaces and where they are in the spaces around them.

Body Shapes


Different cards would have prompts; the child has to copy the image on the card. Images would consist of different hand shapes and body shapes, For example, a fist, clapping, thumbs up etc. There would be three categories of cards, left hand/body, right hand/body and both hands/sides of the body. As these cards got selected the child would have to copy the card a timer would run and they would have to get through as many as possible before the timer ran out. The game could be based on a board game theory and they could roll dice and work their way round board landing on different squares having to pick up different cards from one of the three card options. If the child gets two or more gestures correct they roll the dice and move, getting closer to the finish.
