Guess the Secret Object - Listening, Thinking & Reasoning Skills

Guess the Secret Object targets auditory memory, comprehension and processing skills. Kids love to make guesses while building their listening, critical thinking and reasoning skills. For each secret object, the child is categorizing and analyzing information, making inferences, and drawing conclusions. The goal is to make logical guesses and identify all 32 secret objects by listening to the four clues presented one by one through hearing alone. Each of the clues gets increasingly more specific.

Once the secret object is revealed the next activity is for the child to remember and use each of the clues to clearly describe the object in connected speech. Thereby stretching their auditory memory, building vocabulary and descriptive language skills.
