The Attention Gym for Kids

30 Days of Focus Missions, Memory Challenges & a Mystery to Solve!

Something is missing at Riverside Camp. Join Fern the fox, Pip the mouse and Quill the crow in the Riverside Field Club and solve The Case of the Missing Brass Key, one mission at a time.

  • Focus missions: spot-the-difference, hidden objects, secret codes, treasure hops and trail mazes.
  • Memory challenges: study a scene, pack a backpack from memory, remember a witness's story.
  • Real-world missions: sound maps, listening walks and "Stay Mode", a calm way to practice sticking with things.
  • Badges and a certificate to color as each part is finished.

Questions

What age is it for?

Ages 7 to 11. Younger children enjoy it with a grown-up reading along; older children can work mostly on their own.

How long does each mission take?

About 15 to 30 minutes, plus a small real-world mission later in the day, like a listening walk or a kitchen helper job.

Will the mystery be spoiled?

No. Answers to the puzzles are in the back for grown-ups, and the solution to The Case of the Missing Brass Key is sealed behind a STOP page until Day 30.

Does my child need a screen?

No. It's all pencil and paper. Some missions ask a grown-up to time a few minutes.

Can I print it at home?

Yes. The printable PDF is the full book at letter size, so each child can have their own copy.
