Hi Mark! It's Fiona from the Canteen Youth Leadership Festival. Thanks again for all the wisdom you shared with us and also for posting these awesome videos! Strategy #5 resonated with me the most and is a nice reminder :)
These are great ideas!! Being an elementary school music teacher I teach every child in the school. A large group of names to remember. Although some of the same students return each year, there are always many new faces as well. Especially kindergarten. I will for sure be using your shirt trick with the little ones. My favourite way to remember names is to put fun alteration with it. When I meet then I try to find a distinguishing feature to add to their name to help me remember.
Excellent strategies, thank you for sharing. Associating a name with something is another fave way to remember names. For example, this week, I met a woman named Alexandra, and it was so easy to remember it because I associated her name with a "scrabble" type game we played in which participants added their name to a crossword pattern of names - and hers was the longest and most useful for everyone else to branch off. :-)

If you watch children playing a ball game, they are often calling their friends by name if they want the ball passed to them.
Yes, that is absolutely right and is a great example of my last tip in this video. Thanks for sharing :-)
