HOW TO PEG ALL FIVE ITEMS ON ONE
NUMBER

Here's a way to expand your ability to remember
large numbers of items.

Our five school items are:

1. rocks
2. sand
3. hair
4. paperclips
5. toothbrush

Now we'll make up a silly story about all five items
and put them on memory peg number One which is
DRUM.

You wake up in the morning and see that your hair
is standing on end and there's a drum full of sand
balancing on top of your hair and the sand is pouring
all over you. You are wearing paperclips for earrings
and each paperclip has a toothbrush hanging off it
Then a big rock comes out of the drum and dongs you
on the head!

This method allows you to attach several items to
each memory peg.
