ABSTRACT:
A memory engagement game is based on Montessori educational principles and employs elements of a trivia game and a bingo game. The game includes a game board having a plurality of openings, a movable cover associated with each opening, a plurality of game cards that can be inserted into the game board, and a plurality of calling cards. Each calling card displays a question, and each game card displays answers to each question. When a game card is inserted into the game board, the answers are in register with the openings. The player can move any given cover to mask the answer displayed in the associated opening. During play, the questions are read aloud and players cover the openings that display the correct answers. Play continues until one or more players covers all of the openings on his game board. The game improves the players' memories while permitting the players to socialize in a non-competitive environment.
