I was working on a card challenge that needed me to incorporate all colors of a rainbow. Immediately, I thought of VIBGYOR. This is how I used to remember the colors of Rainbow. VIBGYOR is a Mnemonic. Mnemonic is a method or an aid to remember some complex lists or details. The term covers a wide variety of memory aids, but is now often used as a synonym for acronyms. Even though it means that you need to know what the individual letters of the Mnemonic means, once practiced, this can be an effective way of remembering lot of complex details.
Another Mnemonic that I know is HOMES to remember the names of America's Great Lakes (Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, Superior)
I could not think of any other Mnemonics...:) If you remember any, please do let me know.

Another mnemonic sentence
Cultural anthropology and the six types of residential patterns do not have to be listed in any particular order, so we can switch them to form the best cue word to fit our memory
Original List:
neolocal, patrilocal, matrilocal, avunculocal, bilocal, ambilocal
Mnemonic: Avoid New American Made Bionic Parts
Note: This mnemonic captures the first two letters of each term in the original list posted above.
I once used mnemonics in the 4th grade to remember prepositions. I used the jingle bell song to remember them all. I could sing it to you if you're interested. :)
