Repeat the tune
Listen to the tune, then play it back with big sweeps of your arms. Every round adds one more note.
What it works on
Working memory and sequencing, played through whole-arm reach: hold the tune in your head, then play it back in order. Each round adds one more note.
Remembering a short sequence is what following a three-step routine depends on. Reaching for notes on both sides also crosses the middle of the body.
Stop when the player starts guessing; that is the current memory span, and the number to beat next time.
