Missions is designed to improve your little one's memory
retention and strongly plays on their determination to succeed.
It requires absolutely no materials but is an absolute winner
for young children. For this very basic activity you are going
to be the 'Army Major' setting a 'mission' for your little one
to complete. To be able to complete the mission successfully,
your child must see how much of the information they can
remember, and how accurately they can perform the tasks in the
correct order. An example of a 'mission' - should your child
choose to accept it - may be to run to the tall tree, jump up
and down on their right foot four times and pick three daisy
flowers before coming back to you to give you a kiss. Extension:
As your little one completes a number of successful 'missions'
you may wish to increase the number of steps in their mission,
or let them have a turn at setting the 'missions' and you can
try to carry them out.
