Often, children, as well as adults, need to remember any words or letters. This applies not only to foreign languages, which are not so easy to learn, but also to our native Russian language, which is rich in a variety of simple and complex words. But what if nothing happens at all? To give up and take up another matter? Or try to do it all the same?
If you have ever encountered this problem, then this article will be a salvation for you. These exercises for memorizing words will help you and your children develop their memory, learn to memorize words or letters faster. Here you can choose which exercise is the best.
Listing
One simplest memorization exercise is enumeration. Let's say the words "picture, carburetor, charger, flowers, nebula, grapes, kitchen set ..." are given. A person reads these words twice, and then from memory should remember everything that he just read. Words can be selected according to the person’s age, occupation, upcoming holidays, or season changes.
This exercise can be modified and complicated. For example, a person should not only remember words, but also make a sentence with them without losing a single one.
Describe Picture Exercise
Imagine a picture of a parrot sitting on a perch. We were given the words: "claws, diamond, grass, autumn leaves, tongs, chocolate." And now, using our imagination to the maximum, we explain how the parrot in the picture can be connected with these words.
With its paws, the parrot clings to the perch, like CLAWS, its eyes are like DIAMONDS, its plumage is green like GRASS, but there are also orange glimpses like AUTUMN LEAVES, the beak of the parrot looks like TONGS, the perch on which the parrot sits is colored " bitter chocolate". Such an exercise in memorization will not only help develop the memory of the child, but will also show his imagination.
Rows of words
For the next exercise to memorize letters, you will need an assistant. Write a series of words. Let's say 20 pieces. In a row on the right, write words that one way or another refer to the left. For example:
- Globe map.
- The dog is a booth.
- The gardener is a wheelbarrow.
- A pencil is an eraser.
- Hypotenuse - legs.
- Honey is the bees.
- Tree - leaves.
- A flash drive is a drive.
- Internet - social networks.
- Flowers - a flower bed.
- Space is a planet.
- Sunflower seeds.
- The washing machine is a powder.
- The farm is a cow.
- Headphones - music.
- Toothbrush - Toothpaste.
- Casket - decoration.
- Coffee is Turk.
- Sausage - a sandwich.
- A candle is a flame.
- Portrait - pencils.
Read all the phrases, and then close the right column. Recover words from memory and write them in front of each left. Do not forget that a number of words also depend on the age of the child. This suggests that the words used in the exercise should be familiar to the child. Such tasks are actively used in teaching children English.
A lot of one
Another memorizing exercise. (One of the most typical options is presented, you can finish it based on the age, capabilities, hobbies and desires of a person, you can make it simpler or more complicated, the main thing is the principle). Here are pictures of animals, things, flowers, insects, books, cities, cars, musical groups ... Within one minute you should remember all the pictures. Then on paper write all the objects in alphabetical order.
This task is used in different interpretations and in almost every intellectual marathon or game. It is enjoyed by both adults and children. You are given a long word, for example: "shipwreck." The task is to make as many words as possible from the letters of the given word. (Slave, cancer, varnish, ball, shock, block, seam, wide, slag). With the same principle, exercises are used to memorize the English alphabet. Such an exercise can be turned into a whole game, charging the child for each word as many points as there are letters in the word.
Exercise "personal advice"
Once upon a time, teachers in the Russian language and literature were forced to rewrite large works of art by those who had problems with spelling, punctuation ... Want to remember something, write these words or texts. Rewrite several times a day, write in drafts, on bookmarks in prominent places, social networks. This will help you remember material faster. Also, the more you read, the better your visual memory develops .
Such exercises for memorizing the multiplication tables are actively used for children of elementary grades who find it difficult to learn a large number of numbers.
Double letters
If you cannot remember words with double vowels or consonants, what should you do then? It will help to remember one certain plot. We take a few words in which you constantly forget how the letter "t" or "tt" is written. Words: thaw, certificate, attraction, confetti, cottage, shade. Now we come up with a small scenario in which these words could meet. “When the thaw came, and the guys from the cottage village“ Confetti ”received their certificates, they went to the attraction“ shade ”. This is all, of course, very subjective. Everyone should choose words that are not within his power to remember. In your head with the help of imagination, put this into a holistic plot and remember.
Cipher
Do you know the word cryptography? This is some encryption of letters, numbers or other useful information. You, too, can feel like a detective or an archaeologist studying an ancient language, and besides, pump your memory and ability to remember words or letters. You can come up with a cipher yourself, or you can ask someone from your environment about it (it will be more interesting). For example, the alphabet or numbers and signs of arithmetic operations should be encrypted. The encryption can be various plain pictures, geometric shapes or just any symbols. Decrypt every day at least one “message” or “example”, and your memory will become simply stunning. You can also use exercises to memorize English words, encrypting them with numbers and symbols.
Poems on the contrary
We were taught poetry from kindergarten. But the essence of this exercise is not to memorize as many poems as possible from beginning to end and tell them to your environment, but to memorize the poem from the end to its beginning. Yes, yes, word by word from the end to the beginning of the poem. It turns out not: "You don’t love me, do not regret, Am I not a little handsome?", But: "Isn’t I beautiful a lot, am I sorry, don’t you love me?"
Various logic games, monopolies, strategies will also help you develop memory and memorize words and letters with ease.
Undoubtedly, a certain memory exercise may not be suitable for someone, it may help someone more, and someone less. They will seem difficult to some people, while others will master them in two ways. Always the most important thing is desire. Do not stop. If you know in the face of your enemy (as a rule, the enemy of a person is his own shortcomings), you can defeat him, defeat yourself. Train, overcoming all difficulties, and you will submit to any peaks. Your memory will be very powerful, and your abilities will be great. As the great theoretical physicist Albert Einstein said: “Life is like driving a bicycle. To maintain balance, you must move. ”
