ESL Logic Problems - Memory Game

One memory game that applies well to an ESL classroom is word memory.

The teacher needs to make a list of four letter words. The list can be around 20-30 words, written in a grid pattern (e.g. 4 x 5)

Show the students the words for 2 minutes. They must remember as many words they can. After time is up, take the words away and have them write down all the words they can remember.

This can be a competition to see who remembers the most words. It is also a good chance to discuss memory strategies, and works well when memory and learning skills are the theme of the day or lesson.
