Cognitive Skills Can Be Enriched Through Play

Think of cognitive skills as your 'go-getters'. Cognitive skills help you mentally gather and store knowledge. Memory, and attention, as well as reasoning and perception are all examples of cognitive skills that can aid a child's development in reading and writing and mathematics.
You can aid your child's development with games designed to enhance their cognitive skills.

Memos Memory Game is a classic matching game. Children take turns removing two wooden disks to real pictures beneath. They must use their cognitive memory skills to remember where the pictures are in order to reveal matching pairs. Whoever matches the most pairs wins the game. Parents can give their own cognitive skills a workout when they play along with the kids.

The See It and Sign It American Sign Language Game makes learning sign language fun. This unique game will teach your child how to sign the alphabet, numbers, and even whole words. Your child will be exercising her cognitive skills of attention, perception and memory, as well as using her fine motor skills to form each sign. This amazing game also comes with it's own DVD to demonstrate the proper hand positions for each sign.

Anagrams rearrange the letters of one word to create a different word. Anagramania is a fast paced game in which players race against each other to solve the word clues that reveal the answer to a question. The whole family can get in on the fun, and give their cognitive skills of symbolic thinking, and deliberate memory a real workout.

This holiday season, why not make your dollars do double duty with educational games that entertain your children as well as teach them. You can enhance your child's cognitive skills through many of the interactive games found here at SensoryEdge.
