> Jogo da memória
There’s a number of memory games, but this one being promoted by Danillo Mariano stands out as being a team game and involving physical activity.
You’ll need:
Tokens of different shapes, colours, heights. Danillo, used marker cones for his demonstration, but so long as you have a copy of each token/colour used in the master pattern for each team, it’s possible to play this as you want. You could consider creating tokens using just sheets of A4 (or letter size) paper each with a different number, letters or just shape on it. For older children and adults you could make it more difficult by using tokens that are combinations of colours and shapes :-). By pattern we mean placing the tokens in a 3×3 grid 3×4 grid or something similar. The more people playing in each team, bigger grids are better.
a tall obstruction like a chair on it’s side or a large piece of cardboard, to act as a shield to hide the master pattern from the teams.
Play
Randomly set out the master pattern so it’s out of sight of the teams, behind the high cardboard shield or upturned chair. Whatever is being used to hide the master pattern.
Place the copies of each token in an identical grid pattern in front of each team, but not in the same locations as the master.
When ready to start, the first member of each team runs up to look at the master pattern, runs back and swaps two of the tokens in front of their team with each other, so that one or both are now in the correct locations. Next person in the team now runs up, looks at the master, runs back and selects two tokens to swap with each other. This repeats with each team member until a team has in front of them a copy of the master pattern.
You may find it useful to include one extra ‘spare’ token for each team. So that when team members swap items near the end, they are not undoing an already correctly placed item.
Great game for physical education as it active, but involves memorising patterns and then problem solving to recreate the pattern.
