Hey Gloria… just had the info on my computer from a while back sorry I cant remember where it is from… I wish I knew the website… or parent that gave it to me… thats all i have. Maybe someone else know the first half. But hopefully this helps some parents learn how to do it. I was greatfeul that I had it… although I didnt know what it was for until LR
I think you are meant to memorize order of the cards, not numbers?
My kids play “silly story” game: we shuffle the cards, put them out as I tell a similar to the above story, take a picture(to check at the end), mix the cards up and kids put them back together by remembering our story line.
Or is the number permanently assigned to a card?
Does anyone have the 1-50 storyline? And I was wondering what the point was with trying to remeber the sequence as just remembering the numbers sounded easier. Thanks Nikolett for clearing that up. So if you saw a picture of a dolphin, the child says… that’s number 55 in the sequence. Or you could have the words, so they have to read that it’s “dolphin” and then identify what number it was in the sequence. Is that what you mean? Where would we get the pictures to go with the numbers? Cut things out of magazines? Or is there a website that has those pictures? Is the sequence from right Brain Kids?
Actually I’m assuming the point is not teaching numbers in order, but having a child remember an entire story, in order. Just remembering the words in order is great in itself, but remembering the story is even greater a feat. It’s to help remember lists, by making up a story to link the words together, as memory training people teach.
I will post the story line - I got it from a Shichida parents forum last year - will be posted under stories - the title will be stories - it is a excel sheet. I have not used myself as I found it hard to present… in excel …??
NOTE: if you have the posibility to get the Right Brain memory linking game from www.rightbrainkids.com ($24) it will work much better for you and as I mentioned in another thread it will provide you a break from the computer training; the right brain materials contains exactly the same story but in print. I personally love it, we are currently working on it.
It comes not only with the story but with audio to be played at night time and with 20 small cards to get you started after you use the first 20 cards your child gets the idea of what the game is all about and you wont need the little cards anymore then you move to the booklet and continue from there. It is really worth it. 300 pictures and stories.
The idea of the memory linking game is not to remember the numbers (which is impresive anyway) nor the story but to learn how remember a set of pictures in order at great speed.
At the begining you will need the story to tie the pictures in your brain - one step forward is to remember all the pictures all of them 300 in the precise order without the help of the story.
another great resource for this kind of excersice is the memory magic from www.acceleratedchild.com (we did this one first for 100 stories now working on 300 stories with the Rbrain product)
hope this helps.

ps : I tried to post the file here but it is too big … will try to upload it in the stories section. PM if you dont see it or can not get it from here.
Hi gloria,
Im new into this community-i find this thread very interesting. Could u pls help direct me towhere i cud download this story? Im unable to track it.
Rgds,
Preethi
Pls send me a peronal message with your email address I can not upload the excell file here, there is no option for spreadsheets - or I didnt find it. the file has not only the story but the pictures as well.
Welcome to the Forum we are here to help you in any way we can
Dear sashimani, I need you to personal mail me with your email so I can email you directly - I am not able to post it here. Too big because of the pictures.
Wouldn’t it be much easier/better if the story lines make more sense?
When we play this with children I show them just the pictures and they have to make up a story. Each child has to repeat what was previosly said + add something new to the story with a new picture.
Is this the same or completely different excercise??
