Description

Our popular Auditory Memory pack is now fully updated and in colour. This resource pack provides engaging games and activities to enhance auditory memory, attention, and listening skills. It can be used in one-to-one sessions at home or clinics, as well as in larger group settings at school.

Many children struggle with auditory processing and recall – attention, listening, and auditory memory, especially in school settings. These difficulties, surrounding ‘remembering what you hear’, impact their ability to follow instructions and answer questions – they may struggle to focus on what they hear or retain information long enough to act on it. As a result, auditory memory challenges can significantly affect a pupil’s learning progress.

The pack also includes various strategies to further develop attention, listening, and auditory memory skills and provides alternative ways to use the activity sheets. Featuring visually appealing pictures, this resource is suitable for children from early years (Reception) up to age 11.

Many children with auditory memory problems find it difficult to retain even short sequences of information. Thus, simple questions about what they have heard can result in confused and inappropriate responses. This large pack of worksheets includes a range of activities which promote auditory memory – hearing and remembering. The clear, full colour illustrations assist attention focus and make them attractive to a wide age range.

What’s Inside

The pack includes:

Visual cue cards to promote active listening (“good looking”, “good sitting”, “good thinking”).
Auditory memory activities which increase in complexity, designed to support verbal recall skills.
A structured progression from simple auditory memory tasks to more advanced activities, such as speed naming, “What’s Missing?” exercises, and “Who? What? When? Where?” games.
The activities are flexible and can be divided into multiple shorter sessions if desired.
‘Silly Stories’ exercises, where children listen to a story twice and identify amusing mistakes on the second reading.
- What really happened when Danny met an octopus on the beach? Can you remember why the Bear wanted some apples? Did Megan actually meet an alien in her garden?!
Fun and engaging picture sheets in full colour, suitable for children from Reception to Key Stage 2.
Clear instructions for teachers, therapists, support staff, and parents.

Additional Features

Strategies to develop good looking, good sitting, and good thinking skills.
Exercises to introduce and practise visualisation techniques
- For example, to remember 4 pictures of duck/car/pizza/sheep – a duck flew down and landed on your head; balancing a toy car on your nose; a big piece of very hot pizza in your mouth; a sheep ‘butting’ your body and knocking you over.
- Make vivid imagery between the words you hear – to remember 4 pictures of cake/ghost/ambulance/snowman – a ghost eating a big cake, then felt sick so an ambulance took him away and it crashed into a snowman.
Alternative uses for activity sheets, making the pack versatile across different learning needs.
