There are many versions of Kim's game. This is a basic Kim's game but still has the basic objective to improve each participants memory and powers of observation..
As the participants get older there are more objects laid out. Typically with five to ten year old who have not had much practice with the game we start off with five to ten objects. Each participant is given a pen and paper. This who cannot spell may draw the picture of the objects they see.
The objects are laid out on a tray. There is 2 minutes to look at the objects and remember them.
After two minutes the objects are covered up.
Now have each person write down what they saw.
When all is finished under the objects and see how observant each of the participants were.
Equipment: a tray with 20 small articles (may be related by theme!), pencil and paper for each person, and a watch or timer.
If the game has been angled to individual or patrol observations then give each participant / team a score of say one point for each correct article in their list.
