I SPY Quest

I SPY Quest - A spinable memory/match game

I SPY Quest is a memory game that plays like Husker Du: Pick up any two pawns and make a match. I SPY makes a whole line of games that can help build visual perceptual skills, most notably figure ground.

 

The paired pictures that will make a match in I SPY QUEST are not exactly the same. The pictures may be fairly similar, like the same dog just different colors, or they may be quite different, such as a hand drawn pumpkin and a picture of a jack-o-lantern trick-or-treat bucket. There are two double sided picture boards, four games in all. Before playing a game, you will slip one into a slit in the top of the plastic game board and turn it so that the pictures are showing up in the circles.

 

Object:

Have the most pawns at the end of the game. 

 

Set up:

Place one of the picture boards in the game tray and place a plastic pawn on top of each circle.

 

Play:

Pick any two pawns and see if the pictures match. If they do, keep the pawns and go again. If they don't replace the pawns and your turn is over. Once all the matches have been made, there will be a riddle to solve.

 

The games are numbered 1-16 on the picture boards so that if you play them in order and you will not repeat any.

Try this:

• Cue the person at the beginning to look at the picture with the intention to remember what and where they are.
• Place the picture board in the tray and two by two, place the pawns on the matching pairs to instruct how to look for matching pairs that may look different. Once they are all covered, play a game the regular way.
• Place a piece in the palm and ask the player to move it to the fingertips and turn it in-hand to place on the board when setting up.
• Start with only a few sets covered if there are too many for the individual to remember. Add one set back at a time as his memory improves.
• When putting the game away, pick up the pawns one at a time and squirrel them in the palm. How many can you pick up without dropping any?
  Work on visual memory, visual discrimination, visual form constancy, figure ground, spatial relations, separation of hand, manual dexterity, process skills, executive functioning skills, socialization skills, play and leisure exploration and participation
