Play, Learn and Shine

Students meet the partner class by video, share what they already do to remember things, and learn the basic memory tricks like rhymes, acronyms, and picture links.

Both classes use the same short list of facts from several subjects and try different memory tricks on them. Students record how well each trick helps them remember, using simple paper charts or drawings.

Students share their results with the partner class through a short recorded video or shared board. Together they sort which tricks work best for maths, reading, science, and other subjects.

Mixed teams of both classes discuss the evidence and agree on the memory tricks they will use for future learning. They explain their reasons and suggest one way to test them again.

Students present their favourite tricks and final decisions to the partner class in a live video call. They end by reflecting on what helped them focus and stay calm while learning.
