2. Create an adventure. Yes, as it sounds. The exact name of this technique is Loci method. You can create 'your own story' with the terms that your child must memorize. For example, if you have to learn the names of rivers, create a fun Story with those names.

Create a mural of everything that needs to be retained and put it in a visible place in your room. The same if you have to learn the continents or countries ... Find a visible place for the world map!
4. Find an anecdote. Has it not happened to you that in the end a curious or funny anecdote leads you to remember an entire experience? First you remember that moment when your friend threw the salt shaker, and then you remember who you were, where, why ... In this way, if you ask your child to remember an anecdote from when the teacher was teaching, it will immediately remember everything else.
5. Games. Even if your child is no longer a baby, games are still the most effective tool when it comes to learning. In addition, you can also use the advantages of new technologies. There are many computer games with which you can review a topic in a fun way. Great for practicing math!

17. Hang up the most important information. As he studies, ask him to draw pictures or diagrams of what he must remember and post it in a visible place in the room. For example ... the wall!
18. Create your own board with pins. Children will find it fun to create a kind of 'notice board' with a simple card and with important images of what they are studying.
19. Museums. Surely in your city there are many very useful museums related to what your child is studying.
