Hand Bell Memory Montessori Activity

Video Transcript

"This is a memory game using the hand bells. You set up three bells and ask the child to repeat the same pattern that you play. You can use a blindfold for the child if you like. I generally do not. When they first begin you want them to have the success. So then I sit down and I have the bells sitting and I invite them to come join me and then I play. Listen very closely. Can you play them in the same pattern that I played them? That was beautiful. Now the next time maybe, I might add a few extra bells. It's a great way for the children to have memories as well as you can have the child play and you try to remember what they played. Sometimes they will call them by the red bell, the yellow bell and that's fine because the whole object is to increase their memory. So that?s over a couple of ways that you play the memory game with the hand bells."
