Kinesthetic Concentration
This is a game that will help you improve your concentration
skills and have fun at the same time. You will need a regular
deck of cards. Start with two suits: one red suit and one black
suit. Add the two jokers. You will have 28 cards, two of each
number and face card. Shuffle the cards. Place them face
down in four rows of seven cards, as shown in Figure 4-3.
Turn over two cards at a time. If they are the same numbers,
remove them from the game. If they are not the same numbers,
remember what the numbers are, and turn them face down
again. Continue until you have removed all pairs from the
game. This game also can be played by two or more players.
When one player fails to produce a pair, the next player takes
over. As your concentration improves, add the rest of the deck
to the game and draw four cards at a time. Visit the Web site as-
sociated with this book, www.mentalagility.com, to play an
interactive version of this game.
