A Simple and Practical Use of Bloom’s Taxonomy: Focusing on ‘Remembering’ in My Classroom

---

Hello Amazing Teachers,
Many of our students find it hard to remember facts or feel bored while trying to recall information so I tried an activity in my classroom to make recalling more fun and effective and it really worked

Activity:
In Social Studies instead of asking students to just memorize the names of provinces I turned it into a fun “memory walk” activity

We stood in a circle and acted like we were traveling across Pakistan:

🟢 Sindh – We waved our hands like a breeze to show the wind from the coastal area of Karachi.

Punjab – We clapped twice representing the “land of five rivers” with two hands meeting like rivers joining.

Balochistan – We stomped our feet slowly like walking through a rocky,
hilly area.

🟠 Khyber Pakhtunkhwa – We raised our arms like strong mountains to show the northern ranges.

We repeated the movements and names together for a few days students loved it and could easily recall the provinces later what was once boring became fun active and memorable

Dear fellows how do you think we can help students improve their memory and make recalling fun in the classroom?
Let’s share more ideas and make remembering fun for our little stars

@Sayeda-Afshan Your “memory walk” is such a creative and meaningful approach to the Remembering level of Bloom’s Taxonomy. I love how you connected physical movement with visual and geographical cues this kind of multi-sensory learning really helps cement information in students’ minds. Not only does it make learning more engaging, but it also fosters a sense of connection with the content, especially in subjects like Social Studies that can otherwise feel abstract.

Thank you for sharing this inspiring idea! I’m definitely going to try something similar with my students. Maybe we can even create movement-based routines for science terms or historical events.

@Sayeda-Afshan
What a creative and fun way to make learning stick!
Love how you brought movement and meaning into memorization.
bravo!
