Goal of this exercise is to improve
Improving spatial orientation
Promotion of imagination
Improving working memory
By memorizing the positions and colors of the targets, along with orientation, imagination and working memory are also promoted.
Instruction
Balls of different colors or other objects are required as targets. The targets are set up in a semicircle about 3 m away. The person needs to remember the location of the targets and closes his eyes. Then a color is announced and you have to go to the corresponding destination as precisely as possible (direction and distance) with your eyes closed.
“Note the color and position of the targets. Then close your eyes and, with your eyes closed, go exactly to the destination that is given to you.”
Variants
Don't go to the target but roll another ball to the target.
Don't go to the target but throw another ball to the target.
Set up the targets at different distances.
Turn around in a circle before you start running.
Build 4 or 5 goals instead of 3 goals.
Tips
This exercise can be made even more difficult if more complicated things, such as solving an arithmetic problem, have to be done in between.
