PWA Try this First, create a changeable “traffic light”: Get a piece of plain card and cut out three circles in a vertical line. Then, collect paper in at least three or four colors and cut out two circles of each color; these are your light bulbs. Lightly tape three different colored bulbs behind the holes you have cut out to create a wacky traffic light. Don’t let {LEARNER_FNAME} see it yet. Lay the rest of the circles out on the table.  Tell {LEARNER_FNAME} the wacky traffic light keeps turning on and off – it could break down at any time, and cars are heading this way…  Show {LEARNER_FNAME} your traffic light for five seconds so {SUBJ_PRONOUN} can see the colors. Then take it away and say: The wacky light is off now – but you can fix it by choosing the same colors we just saw Give {LEARNER_FNAME} 15 seconds to choose from the colored circles on the table and place them in order on the table. If the colors and order are correct, the light is fixed. Play at least three rounds by removing the light bulbs and sticking new ones into your traffic light. Try as many times as you like with different colors.
PWA Variations
PWA What to look Does {LEARNER_FNAME} pay attention during the time when the wacky traffic light is "on", and does {SUBJ_PRONOUN} remember the colors in the correct order?
PWA Why this matters We can remember things after seeing them only briefly by using a part of our working memory that holds visual and spatial information, kind of like writing on a sketchpad in our mind. This activity will help {LEARNER_FNAME} practice remembering what {SUBJ_PRONOUN} saw and recreating the correct sequence of colors. UTM-EM-049-MAR-21
