Working memory is one of the brain's executive functions. Working memory plays a big role in how we auditory process, use, and remember information on a daily basis. Children and teens who have a hard time “staying on track” might have problems with something called working memory.

The Thanksgiving Listening Walk is FUN for the kids and SIMPLE for you!

➯ The Listening Walk can help build listening skills and working memory by allowing kids to work with auditory information without losing track of what they're doing.

➯ The game targets vocabulary, descriptive skills, spoken language, and communication skills.

➯ The game has three rounds that increase in auditory complexity.

Game Play

You need one listening game sheet per child.

1. The child listens and follows verbal directions while walking their fingers around the grid until they hear STOP. They are using their working auditory memory to follow directions without losing track of what they were doing.
2. Then, ask them to describe that block which is a great language expansion opportunity.
3. If correct, they landed on a specific image and completed that round.
4. Let the child take turns giving you directions. This helps build expressive language and turn-taking skills.
