I recently came up with an easy way to learn the 13 colonies in chronological order. Stories are a great memory technique because they follow a sequence. The brain stores information using a sequence or pattern, so this is why it works so well.

It’s easy to remember a list of things. Let’s say we want to remember the 7 continents in the world.

• Africa
• Antarctica
• Asia
• Australia
• North America
• South America
• Europe

Step 1 – Analyze the list.
Four continents begin with the letter “A”.
Two other continents begin with “A” but have a “North” or “South” in front of them.
One continent begins with an “E”.

Step 2 – Visualize and make up a story.
To remember the four “A” continents, visualize a lion in Africa leaping down to Antarctica where it’s cold. A penguin jumps on the lion’s back and off they fly to Australia and pick up a koala bear who wants to see a panda in Asia. Draw a picture of the animals, showing the names of the continents.

Step 3 – What “A”s are left?
The other two “A”s are for North America and South America which are easy to remember.

Step 4 – The easy “E”
That just leaves the “E” continent which is Europe.
