Skill: Memory
This will require 10+ items, a tray, a piece of paper and something to draw/write with.
Take a tray and put a lot of items and put in the tray the way you want to put it.
Now look at the tray for 10sec ~ 1min and write everything that was there, it's always better if you have a partner to choose the items for you so that it's more challenging. Check your answers. For younger kids, you can let them draw everything that was there. For further challenges, try to memorize where everything was.
