Quick gestures <\/em>is a fun and engaging game to practice the executive functions<\/strong> of children aged 5 and up: carrying out double tasks, self-regulating movement, recalling instructions in working memory, enhancing the speed of information processing and visual exploration. <\/p>\n

Not only that, the game also helps develop the fine motor skills<\/strong> of the little ones.<\/p>\n

What are executive functions?<\/p>\n

Executive functions are the set of mental processes<\/strong> that supervise our thoughts and behaviors. They incorporate several neurologically based operations that serve to direct and coordinate our actions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    How to play<\/p>\n

    At the start, the children 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: <\/strong>only those who manage to carry out the two actions quickly (and correctly) will be the champion of Quick Gestures.<\/em><\/p>\n

    “Special” cards:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n\t\t\"\"<\/p>\n

    NUMBER ZERO<\/em><\/strong>
    \nWhen 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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n\t\t\"\"<\/p>\n

    THE WILD CARDS<\/em><\/strong>
    \nWild 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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
