Where is the marble?
The cup game is a great way to enhance children's concentration skills through play and is always a lot of fun. To play, place three inverted cups next to each other on the table. The child places a marble, a die, or a coin under one of the three cups. Start by slowly changing the position of the cups. The child concentrates on the cup under which the marble is hidden. After you have moved the cups several times, ask the child which cup they think the marble is under. Then, lift the chosen cup to see if the marble is underneath. If the answer is correct, increase the speed at which you move the cups in the next round. It is important to give the child a sense of achievement as they learn to concentrate. Accompany the game with encouraging words and praise the child for their concentration. This will make the game even more exciting and ensure further feelings of success.
