Memory games

We are trying to improve our memories by doing brain training exercises. This is one of them we are doing in class:

4 (or more) single digit numbers are read out by the teacher eg. 2 4 6 1, then after they have been read out the pupil writes them down to see if they can remember them in the correct order.

Here are some websites with other memory activites (note year 3 is the same as grade 2, also
K -12 means it is suitable for all ages):
