How this Working Memory Activity works:

Students are presented with a series of tasks. In each task, they are shown 4 open doors, each with an emoji face in the doorway. These doors remain open for a certain amount of time and then close, hiding the faces. The students need to study these doors and faces while they are open.
The students then move to the next card and are asked a question to test how well they remember the doors and faces. They will need to drag the faces into the correct doorways. The difficulty level increases as the number of faces they must choose from increases (extra faces are added that were not behind of any of the doors).
As the students move through the deck, the doors close more and more quickly. Initially they remain open for 20 seconds, but by the end of the deck they are only open for 5 seconds. Please note: the 5 second cards are VERY challenging - it may be necessary to practice the other cards a number of times before attempting the 5 second cards, or to use the 5 second cards as a bonus round!

PLEASE NOTE:

This deck contains Once-off GIFs (GIFs that finish their animations and then remain static). If you wish to play the deck again after completing it, using the “Play Again” button will not reload the GIFs, so their animations will still be finished. If you are using a BROWSER, you can simply RELOAD THE PAGE, and the GIFs should work again. If you are using the BOOM CARDS APP, you need to EXIT COMPLETELY (not just minimize) AND THEN REOPEN THE APP in order to reload the GIFs.
