“THREE PERIOD LESSON & MEMORY GAME”

Three period lessons are used throughout the Montessori environment to
help introduce a new lesson or concept and lead the children along a path to
understanding and mastery. However, in the area of language they are used
to increase, enrich and broaden a child's vocabulary.

with the material itself.

Memory Games: 

Memory games are to be introduced to the child when the child’s interest in the
materials is fading and to bring new interest to the material the child already know
very well. These games could also be shown to bring the older to revisit the
material and can be given before or after the three period-lesson is given,
depending on the game itself.

depending on the game itself.

Purposes of Memory Games:

1. To prolong the activity with the material, this will assure a stronger absorption by
the child.
2.   The games work as a motivation in discovering more variations of the material.
3.   To help directress verify the child’s language of the material.
4.   To bridge the work of quantity and to allow the child to discover the quality of the
materials in the word around him.

Example:

Game 1: Matching at a Distance: 

Two different tables placed with a distance.

1. Take a pair of material and put one on each table.
2. Directress takes one of the objects from one table and offer child to feel it by
holding in his hand.
3. Directress asks the child to bring the same object from the distant table. Repeat
this until all pair of material matched correctly.
