Gifted and talented test prep isn’t all about studying and schoolwork. Sometimes the best way to prepare for this important test is by having fun! With a few carefully selected games and activities with the help of FasTracKids in New York City, kids can focus on having a blast while they make great strides forward in their gifted and talented test prep—without even realizing it! 

Ready to make test prep fun for your little one? Take a look at some great ideas to get started:

• Play Memory Games: Memory plays heavily in the gifted and talented test, so practice and strengthen this important skill set. Make it fun by playing games like “Going to the grocery,” where you take turns adding to (and memorizing!) an imaginary shopping list.
• Take Vocabulary Field Trips: Building up a good vocabulary will give your child a leg up on the gifted and talented test, and visiting new places is a fantastic way to teach new words and concepts. Try visiting the zoo or aquarium to learn about animals, or visit a museum to see an array of interesting objects and talk about them.
• Practice Classifying: Build on the classic “I Spy” game to practice naming, describing, and classifying everyday items. The gifted and talented test will require kids to understand how to categorize items (e.g. animal, fruit, clothing) and identify objects that don’t belong in a group, so this is an effective and fun way to practice.
