When my whole family gets together, I like to plan activities that we can all do together. I was searching for "games the whole family can play" and came across this game - Memory Tray - which was called a parlor game. The instructions are simple:
Everyone can look at the tray for 1 minute and then they get three minutes to write down everything they can remember. The person who gets the most items wins a prize!
1. Find a large tray. Mine is from Target, several years ago - here is a similar one for sale from Target and here are a few cute ones from Amazon:
2. Find 30 small, unique items that can fit on the tray (See Ideas Below).
3. Cover the tray with a tea towel.
4. Gather paper (I created a numbered list page), pens and prizes and make sure you have a timer ready.
