Does your child need to remember a numbered list (e.g., steps, parts of speech, historical events in order)?

The Peg System uses rhyming pegs for numbers. Abacus trains the visualisation to make them stick.

Here’s the promise: You’ll learn the easiest memory system for ordered lists.

🧩 How the Peg System Works

You pre‑memorise 10 (or 20) rhyming pegs. Then you “hang” each item you want to remember on its peg using a vivid image. Abacus mental imagery makes this natural.

🎯 Using the Peg System

Step 1: Learn the 10 rhyming pegs (one‑bun, two‑shoe, three‑tree, four‑door, five‑hive, six‑sticks, seven‑heaven, eight‑gate, nine‑vine, ten‑hen). Step 2: For a list (e.g., shopping: milk, eggs, bread), imagine milk pouring over a bun, eggs in a shoe, bread growing on a tree. Step 3: To recall, go through the pegs: bun → milk, shoe → eggs, tree → bread.

💡 A Parent’s Example

“My daughter used the peg system for her class president speech points. 1=opening (bun with a microphone), 2=experience (shoe with medals), 3=vision (tree with a telescope). She never forgot her order.”

You might wonder, “Can I make my own pegs?” Yes — any image works, but rhymes are easiest.
