Memory Joggers.

Sometimes the little things in life can be so useful, such as the memory jogger of how many days there are in each month of the year. Thirty days hath September, April, June, and November, all the rest have thirty one except for February alone that has twenty eight and twenty nine days each leap year.

Not only did king Henry the eighth have six wives but remembering the events surrounding his marital dealings with them often is very useful, especially when wanting to display a more comprehensive historical knowledge. Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded,
Survived.

Everyday there could be an opportunity to utilise a memory jogger, for example depending on the weather there is a bit of insight held in an ability to repeat this little rhyme. Red sky at night shepherd’s delight. Red sky in the morning shepherds warning. It is amazing how many times this has been proved to be the case of an accurate forecast for good or bad weather.

Another typically interesting one can be found in unveiling the order of the colours of the rainbow. It can be remembered by reciting that memory jogger, Richard of York gave battle in vain. All of a sudden Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet spring to mind.

Memory joggers work best when they are humorous and tickle the imagination, for instance to remember the points on a compass, this little piece can be thoughtfully put into practice and off it goes with, Naughty Elephants Squirt Water. For the four points of a compass, no longer a memory problem should they entail.

A very good space associated memory jogger can come in the form of the order of the planets and that can be, Make Very Easy Mash Just Start Using New Potatoes.

The joy of learning can be greatly enhanced by imagination and creativity. Spelling, knowledge on multiple subjects, even facts about the environment can all be far easier brought to mind, appreciated, acknowledged and recognised for future use by simply implementing a few memory joggers. There are many out there, so either through picking those that have an appeal for you or by making up your own, why not put this practical practice into use? Have fun and fear remembering the facts no longer!
