Create Your Own Mnemonic Device Game (Join the Brain Awareness Day activities!)

Mel March 19th, 2016

A mnemonic device is one way to help you remember. One type of mnemonic is called an "acrostic." An acrostic is a phrase that uses the first letters of words to remember the entire phrase.

- Create your own memory device for the following:

The classification scheme of living organisms - Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species
Colors of the visible spectrum: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet
Order of the planets in the solar system: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto

(Tag someone else and dare them to join in with another mnemonic device!)

Get creative! Let's encurage brain awareness :)

Main post for the event can be found here

Cheers! Mel.

The classification scheme of living organisms - "kings plant coconuts on fish going swimming"

and

colors of the visible spectrum - "Ron on your golden barstool is violent"

That's the best I could come up with xD

Hi, everyone!

Here's my try at creating a mnemonic device:

To remember that a whole note has four beats, just think of winter, fall, summer and spring. :)
