Quick gestures is a fun and engaging game to train the executive functions of children aged 5 and up by carrying out double tasks, self-regulating movement, recalling instructions in working memory, enhancing the speed of information processing and of visual exploration. Not only that, the game helps develop the fine motor skills of the little ones.
How to play?
At the start, children will have to turn the card over, carefully observe the figures and colors and identify those that correspond to the previously memorized number on the back of the card. The color corresponds to a location to reach and the figure to a gesture to perform: only those who manage to carry out the two actions quickly (and correctly) will be the champion of Quick gestures.
Teaching objectives
● 60 cards divided into three difficulty levels
● 4 mats
● 14 tokens
● 8 discs for the table version

"Special" cards:
NUMBER ZERO When the player encounters the card depicting the number 0, he/she will have to understand which figure and color are missing on the card. Then, he/she will have to run to the missing color and perform the gesture attributed to the absent shape.
THE WILD CARDS Wild cards are those cards in which the number does not correspond to the quantity of figures and colors: the player will have to carry out the previous color and gesture combination.
