Scratch my back! A fun neuropsychological game for developing spatial representations

Letters, symbols, signs… the stability of their images ultimately depends on the success of learning. What if we master them not only through visual perception but also through bodily experience? Strangely enough, this allows for more stable results. In the proposed game, children "scratch each other's backs": one child draws on the back of another, and the latter guesses. To make it more interesting and useful, we suggest drawing not only familiar letters and numbers but also unclear graphic images.

Such games have long been used by specialists — neuropsychologists, speech therapists, educators — and have proven their effectiveness. Thus, our proposed game will be a useful addition to regular corrective and developmental sessions. Moreover, it can simply be played at a party — it will be both entertaining and beneficial!
