How Copy the tune helps kids watch, listen, and replay a sequence
A parent guide to Tomorrow Kid’s Memory Copy the tune—Simon-style watch-and-hear, Your turn replay, Almost! Watch again., sequence length growth, age filters, and stars.
What Copy the tune is for
Tomorrow Kid’s Memory list includes Copy the tune (sequence_repeat)—a Simon-style watch-and-hear game. Kids see and hear a growing sequence, then tap it back in order. Miss a step and the set says Almost! Watch again. Length scaffolds from a short start toward a longer max, so working memory stretches without a sudden leap.
Parent tip: narrate the phases out loud—“Watch and listen… now your turn!” Matching trains pairs; Copy the tune trains holding an ordered sequence. Use Matching as the warm-up; save Copy the tune for when attention feels ready.
Where it lives
- In Settings, turn Memory on for the child’s profile (it starts hidden by default)
- Confirm the age band so age-filtered sets match what they can try
- Open Memory from Home and tap a Copy the tune set on the list
- Watch the sequence play, then tap the same order on Your turn!
Play runs in MemorySequenceRepeatGameView inside Memory play. For the four-mode Memory overview (Matching, Who left?, Copy the tune, Remember spots), age filters, offline cache, and when to enable the tile, see the Memory guide.
Watch, replay, and grow the length
| Moment | What kids see |
| --- | --- |
| Watch and listen… | The set plays the current sequence (sight + sound) |
| Your turn! | Kid taps the same order back |
| Almost! Watch again. | A miss restarts the demonstration—no shame spiral |
| Length growth | Starts near sequenceStart (often 2) and grows toward sequenceMax (often 5) |
| Progress + stars | A progress bar tracks the set; finish scores feed ProgressStore.recordMemory |
Stars use the same bands as other Memory sets and still flow into the shared Sticker Book economy.
How Copy the tune differs from sibling Memory modes
- Matching — flip-and-match pairs (recognition), not ordered replay; warm-up spine for most weeks
- Who left? — spot what disappeared from a scene
- Copy the tune — watch/hear a growing sequence, then tap it back (
sequence_repeat) - Remember spots — recall which grid positions lit up
Deep-dives for Matching, Who left?, and Remember spots alone are separate follow-ons. This article owns Copy the tune only.
A calm way to introduce it at home
- Turn Memory on and confirm the age band together.
- Clear one Matching round first so the Memory list feels familiar.
- Open a Copy the tune set—say “watch and listen, then your turn” before the first sequence.
- Let a miss say Almost! Watch again. without fixing the taps for them.
- Stop after one finish (or when focus fades); celebrate the stars.
What to try next
Keep Matching as the weekly warm-up. Rotate in Copy the tune when focus is fresh and you want ordered working-memory practice. Leave Who left? and Remember spots for other days. Ready to try it? Open Tomorrow Kid → Memory → Copy the tune.
