Verona, I don't know if this works but I've read that playing the game in the car where one person says, my name is Annie, I'm going to Australia, I'm taking along an ardvaark. And the next person does the same thing with "b" and repeats every answer before him. (sorry, I don't know what the game's called). Playing this game in the car supposedly helps build up the auditory sequential processing muscle so that you can begin to remember multi-step instructions in the future.
