    Brain Rule 4: People don't pay attention to boring things. This website of classroom games and activities does a great job of outlining some great ways to hold the attention of a class. Students, especially young students, do not have the attention span to have tons of information lectured at them for hours. Therefore, it's important to break up the monotony with some fun classroom activities-- trick them into learning, so to speak.

      Most of the events that predict whether something learned will also be remembered occur in the first few seconds of learning. The more elaborately we encode a memory during its initial moments, the stronger it will be.

  • Learners who used a repetition tactic remembered 50% more content after one week (7 days) than did those learners who did not recite.
  • This is a practice activity. Use it with students who are familiar with the lesson content. Students recall facts, labels, lists, rules, or procedures by stating the correct question that corresponds to the answer provided by the narrator while participating in a game to make the lesson more interesting. This activity should be used after the students are familiar with the lesson content.

  • Repetition involves repeating the information to be recalled. Repetition can be done verbally, in writing, or mentally. It has been documented that the most effective method of Repetition is verbal repetition because it involves both auditory and vocal senses.
