Description

As with the classic Kim's Game, this is a memory game, but reworked for the COVID 19 Lockdown.

A display of items changes, one item at a time, and the scouts get a point for guessing the change correctly.

Resources

A selection of items, a mobile phone or camera, PowerPoint (or other software for creating a slideshow), a Video Conferencing facility.

Instructions

Prep:
1) Make a display of the items, and take a photo
2) Make one change (add or remove an item (you can move things around as well!)
3) Take another photo
4) Repeat 2-3 as many times as you like.
5) Make a PowerPoint deck with the photos in order. (You could have a blank slide between each photo if you like) (make sure they are in the right order!)
6) Add a slide for "Game Over"
7) Copy the display slides at the end, for a recap for answers.

Playing:
1) Before starting your online session, open up the PowerPoint (or slide show). Make a list of scouts on the session.
2) When you're ready to play, share your screen or the PowerPoint window
3) Explain the rules. "You'll see a display of items, you need to memorise them. The image will then change, and you need to write down what changed. Don't shout it out, or you'll give it away! It could be that something is added, or taken away, or both, or a different change. You don't need to say if they move around, only if they are added or removed."
4) If everyone understands, show the first slide, and ask them to memorise it. You might want to use a timer.
5) Click onto the next slide, and ask them to write down what changed.
6) carry on through the remaining slides, until you get to "Game Over".
7) Click through to the first display, and ask the first scout on your list what they got for the first change. Click through and see if they were right. Get the scouts to mark their answers, one point per correct answer.
8) carry on through the slides, and scouts, until you reach the end.
9) Ask the scouts what their scores were, and see who the winners were.
