Scrabble, besides being a game that needs skills in strategy, italso calls for good memory to win the game.Therefore, this word game can be used to help improve one’smemory.As you know very well, the key to the achieving of high pointsin this game is by forming words that contain a specifiedletter, such as “q” or “z”.To train your memory, try to remember the words contain theletter.As tips, to make it easier, try to associate the word withsomething, such as your experience, friend, favorite movie, etc.For example, to remember the word ‘quiescent’, you can associateit with one of your friend, who is quite by nature.You can apply this technique to remember things in your dailylife.Another technique, which is my favourite to remember a list, isby combining the words together. For example, to remember somewords which begin with ‘z’, try to memorize this sentence:”The zany zebra in the zoo runs zigzag zealously and meetszookeper, zoologist and zoombie.”Notice that by combining them, at least you have memorized eightwords that contain ‘z’ letter. A research showed that memory can also be improved by doinglight activities that stimulate thinking power. The examples ofsuch activities include playing scrabble.Scrabble, as you know, needs a right strategy to win. Besideshaving to think about your next move, you also have to think toblock up your opponent’s move.Concentrate better so your memory will improve more.Happy playing this exciting game…
