TIPS TO IMPROVE THE LONG TERM MEMORY IN
CHILDREN.
• Create the environment (songs, colors, games)
• Give feedback, connect the previous
knowledge with the new one with relevant
material.
• Concentrate in one or two topics no more than
those.
• Put into practice creative and active classes
with dynamic activities.
• Let your children touch things in order to mix
emotions with feelings to remember more the
moment and the knowledge.
• Give activities which develop the two
hemispheres of the brain.
• Pay special attention to the beginning and the
end of the class, due to children remember
more the end than the beginning of a process.
