According to research, it is important for children to review and recall information throughout the day. Here are some tips to help children remember in special ways.
Thumbs Up Thinking
If you’ve learned something new you can stick up your thumb. If you’ve learned more than one new thing you can stick up a finger for each additional thing.
Visualize
Have children close their eyes and reflect on what they did well and what they learned.
Catch a Star
Ask children to think of something new they learned or something they did that made them feel proud. Tell them to reach up and grab a star and then put it in their hearts.
Close Your Eyes and Smile
Have children close their eyes. If they can see something new they learned they can open their eyes and smile at you.
Fist List
Children make a fist and then hold up a finger for each new thing they learned that day.
Kiss Your Brain
Write “Kiss Your Brain!” on a poster and tape it to your door. Before children leave for the day they must say something they learned and then kiss their brains.
*Run off copies of these “brain tickets” to pass out to children at the end of the day.
