5. Memory games:

Memory games are great for checking whether your kid can remember things/names after seeing/listening one time? The best game is to put different objects on a tray (Apple, Ball, Book, Pen, and a few more) and ask your kid to have a glance at it. Cover the tray as soon as he takes a look and ask him what did he see.

Another way is to put different objects in a specific order and ask your child to look at them and speak out the correct order. What about asking him about events that you have done together in the recent past? Such questions and games will help your child remember every event or object that went through his eyes.
