Does your child struggle to remember ordered lists like the planets or steps in a process?

The Peg System uses rhyming words (1‑bun, 2‑shoe, 3‑tree) to create mental hooks. Abacus trains number‑image association.

Here’s the promise: You’ll learn how to memorize any list in order.

🧩 How the Peg System Works

You create a set of “pegs” (rhyming images for numbers). Then you “hang” the information you want to remember on those pegs using vivid mental images. Abacus number sense helps.

🎯 Learning the Pegs

Memorise these rhymes: 1=bun, 2=shoe, 3=tree, 4=door, 5=hive, 6=sticks, 7=heaven, 8=gate, 9=vine, 10=hen. Practice: Say the number, picture the peg. Apply: For a list, create an image of the list item interacting with the peg. For “milk” as item 3: imagine milk pouring over a tree. Silly images work best.

💡 A Parent’s Success

“My son memorised the first 10 elements of the periodic table using peg rhymes. Hydrogen on a bun, Helium in a shoe… He learned it in 10 minutes and still remembers weeks later.”

You might wonder, “Does this help with numbered lists only?” Yes — perfect for any numbered sequence.
