How to Memorize the Presidents Easily
To memorize the presidents of the United Statesfaster than you ever thought possible, you need to do what memory experts do – use visualmemory techniques.
I’ll tell you exactly what to picture inyour mind, and I’ll draw it for you too.
Focus on seeing each picture in your head,and you’ll be amazed how easily you can recall everything.
Let’s get into it.
We’ll begin by picturing a washing machine.
The 1st president of the United States was,of course, George Washington.
Washington sounds a bit like washing machine.
I’m sure you don’t need any help rememberingthe first president, but we’ll use an image anyway because it’s the first picture inour visual story.
So picture a washing machine, and imagineit has arms and legs.
It’s running down the street, arms and legspumping madly, and the lid of the washing machine is flapping open.
When you think of that washing machine runninglike crazy, you’ll realize that washing machine sounds similar to Washington, andyou’ll remember the 1st president of the United States.
The 2nd president was Adams.
Adams sounds a bit like atom, like an atombomb, so let’s use that.
Picture that washing machine again, runningdown the street, when suddenly, out of nowhere, a huge atom bomb falls out of the sky andlands right on top of the washing machine, crushing it to the ground with a loud boom.
I’m not sure how big a real atom bomb is,but let’s make this one the size of a car.
The washing machine didn’t stand much ofa chance, but at least the atom bomb didn’t explode.
Picture that atom bomb landing on the washingmachine, and you’ll link that to Adams, and know that he was the 2nd president, rightafter Washington.
Jefferson was the 3rd president.
Jefferson is a little challenging, but itkind of sounds like the question ‘dya have a son?’ Let’s imagine the atom bomb didn’t meanto land on the washing machine and now its feeling a bit concerned about the health andwell-being of the washing machine.
Maybe it wants to check if the washing machinehas next-of-kin, somebody it should call, and so it’s asking ‘dya have a son?’ Picture the atom bomb standing over the crushedwashing machine.
The atom bomb has eyes and a mouth and it’sasking ‘dya have a son?’ Imagine that scene clearly in your mind, andyou’ll easily recall the 3rd president – Jefferson.
The 4th president of the United States wasMadison.
That makes me think of mad sun, so let’sroll with that.
The sun up in the sky misheard what the atombomb asked the washing machine.
He thought the question was ‘are you thesun’, and that just gets the sun mad.
Picture the sun has come down out of the sky,it’s very cranky and it’s telling the bomb not to ask silly questions because it’sobvious he’s the sun.
Clearly visualize that sun getting very mad.
Now, when you picture the mad sun, you’lllink that straight away to the 4th president – Madison.
On we go, and Munroe was the 5th president.
One of the most famous people of the lastcentury was Marilyn Munroe, the Hollywood movie star and original blonde bombshell.
And she’s going to be our link to the 5thpresident since they have the same last name.
Picture Marilyn Munroe walking up to the madsun and asking him why he’s so upset and telling him he should take a deep breath andcool down.
The sun stops his little rant, because MarilynMunroe was a beautiful woman and even manages to catch the attention of a mad sun.
Picture Marilyn Munroe talking to the madsun, and you’ll remember that after Madison came Munroe, the 5th president.
The 6th president was John Quincy Adams, sowe’ll include another atom bomb in our story.
Let’s say that Marilyn Munroe finishes talkingto the mad sun and out of the pocket of her dress she pulls a large atom bomb and throwsit into the air.
I’m not quite sure how she fit that largebomb into her pocket or how she has the strength to throw it, but it goes sailing through theair.
Clearly visualize in your mind that atom bombbeing thrown through the air by Marilyn Munroe and you’ll recall the president after Munroewas Adams.
Jackson was president number 7, right afterAdams.
We’ll remember Jackson by picturing theson of a jack – a car jack.
There’s different styles of car jacks, butthis is one of them.
Picture a large red car jack and next to itis one that look exactly the same, except it’s half the size.
They’re father and son jacks.
The atom bomb that Marilyn Munroe threw intothe air falls back down right near the jack son.
The jack son reaches out with his little jackarms and catches the atom bomb and puts it gently on the ground.
Imagine the atom bomb being caught by theson of a jack, and you’ll remember Jackson.
The next president was Van Buren, the 8thpresident.
Van Buren sounds like van – blue wren.
So let’s picture a van being driven by ablue wren – a type of bird.
The son of a jack has to jump sideways toavoid being hit by the van, because the blue wren is not a great driver and the van iscompletely out of control.
Clearly picture that van being driven by theblue wren.
This blue wren is a giant, about the sizeof a person, and it fits nicely into the van, but I don’t think wings and bird feet weremeant for driving.
When you visualize that van and blue wren,you’ll be reminded of Van Buren, the 8th president.
Harrison was the 9th president, and Harrisonsounds like hairy sun.
The out of control van being driven by theblue wren crashes into a wall with a large mural of a hairy sun.
The sun is bright yellow like a normal sun,but he’s got a moustache and bushy beard too.
He’s a really hairy sun.
The hairy sun is a little surprised to watcha van suddenly crash into his wall, but I suppose everybody needs a little bit of excitementin their life.
Create an image in your mind of that hairysun on the wall, and you’ll be prompted to recall the 9th president – Harrison.
President number 10 was Tyler.
A tiler is also someone who lays tiles, andthat’s what we’ll use.
Since the mural on the wall has been all scratchedup by the van crashing into it, a tiler appears to tile up the mess.
He starts laying big white square tiles, he’snot interested in matching the tiles to the old mural, and the hairy sun watches on asthe tiler works.
Imagine the tiler laying all those tiles andyou’ll remember the 10th president – Tyler.
Alright, that’s the first 10 presidents.
I'm sure you can easily remember them, butquickly revise your memory story now by replaying and “watching” it in your mind.
