Need Ideas To Help Your Older Child?

Is your child “too cool” to do worksheets to practice figure-ground perception and visual discrimination skills?

Do you have a child who thinks activities to work on visual perception skills are too babyish?

I know that feeling! Especially when it comes to helping older kids develop visual perception skills!

The term “older kids” is relative, and depends on the child’s perspective and experience - I deliberately don’t put an age range on these activities, but they are just as effective with young teens as they are with precocious second and third graders.

My go-to for “older kids” is games - make it something fun that they can easily do with friends and family, and you have won half the battle!

So, check out your games cupboard - haul out games like Memory Game (Concentration) and Uno, to get the ball rolling. What about a jigsaw puzzle around a theme your child enjoys?

There are a handful of games that I think are especially good for helping older kids work on their visual perception skills without knowing it - but sometimes a bit of guidance from an adult is needed before trying to play the game with siblings and friends.

So I have written out some tips and suggestions to help make the most of the activities.

Pop on over and get inspired to play some games with your child this summer!
