3. Teaching process

(1) Review the Memory Palace Method (5 minutes)

Parents and children review together the basic principles and methods of the memory palace method learned in the previous lesson. Parents can ask their children, "Baby, remember what the memory palace method is?" How do we use the memory palace method to memorize information? Guide the child to recall and answer, and consolidate the understanding of the memory palace method.

(2) Choose a memory palace (10 minutes)

1. Let your child share the memory palace of their choice. If the child has not yet decided on a memory palace, they can discuss it together and choose a suitable place. For example, if a child chooses his or her own room as a memory palace, parents can guide the child to describe the layout of the room and the placement of items to help the child become more familiar with the memory palace.
2. Encourage your child to close their eyes and clearly imagine in their minds that they are in a memory palace, walking from one location to another and feeling the sense of space in the memory palace.

(3) Linking Words and Numbers (25 minutes)

1. Parents are given a set of words or numbers and the child is asked to associate this information with different locations in the memory palace. For example, if the memory palace is the child's room and the words are "apple, banana, orange", the child can put the "apple" on the desk and imagine that there is a big red apple on the desk; Put "bananas" on the bed and imagine a bunch of yellow bananas on the bed; Put the "oranges" in the closet and imagine a pile of orange oranges in the closet.
2. For numbers, some figurative associative methods can be employed. For example, the number "12" can be imagined as a pair of chopsticks placed at the door; The number "34" can be imagined as a triangular ruler placed next to a window.
3. Parents can give appropriate guidance and suggestions to help children create more vivid and vivid associations when associating information. At the same time, children are encouraged to use their imagination to make the association more unique and interesting.

(4) Recall exercise (25 minutes)

1. After the child has completed the association between the information and the memory palace, ask the child to close his eyes, recall the various locations in the memory palace, and try to recall the corresponding words or numbers.
2. Parents can ask random questions such as "What's on the desk?" "What's in the closet?" Or "What's the number at the door?" etc., to check the child's memory.
3. If your child is struggling, you can give some hints to guide your child to recall the corresponding information. For example, if your child forgets a word on his desk, he or she can be reminded to say, "There is a red fruit on the desk, what is it?" Help your child recall the "apple".

(5) Sharing and discussion (20 minutes)

1. After your child has memorized all the words or numbers, ask them to share their feelings and experiences in the process of using the memory palace method. Parents can ask their children, such as, "Do you think the memory palace method works?" "Which location of the association is the easiest for you to remember the information?" and so on, to guide children to think and express positively.
2. Parents can also share some of their own experiences and tips when using the memory palace method, such as how to choose a more suitable memory palace and how to create more effective associations. At the same time, children are encouraged to put forward their own ideas and suggestions to discuss how to better use the memory palace method.
3. Parents and children can discuss how to use the memory palace method to memorize other information in daily life, such as learning content, life trivia, etc., to broaden children's thinking and application ability.

(6) Summary and homework assignment (15 minutes)

1. Parents and children summarize the content of this course together, emphasizing the importance and practicality of the memory palace method.

3. Remind children to pay attention to continuous practice and innovation when using the memory palace method to improve their memory ability.

2. Parents can play memory palace games with their children to make it more fun and challenging.
