Creative Revision Techniques: The post-it game

Well a couple of months ago I said I'd start a series about creative revision techniques. The first post went up no problem and then I got distracted with revision. This post was constantly pushed to the bottom of my to do list and I've only just gotten around to posting it. So I'm super sorry!

The post-it game is one of my favourite revision games to play as it gives my brain a rest from the obvious cue cards and past papers. The rules are quite simple:

• Firstly you'll need to put together a mind map of what you want to revise, making sure you mark down all the possible links to each section of your topic.
• Then you need to pick out key words and write each key word on it's own post-it note. 
• Next find a spare wall or you can use a table and place the post-it notes randomly against the wall/table. 
• Once you have placed all the post-it note on your wall/table, you can start to group them by placing key words that link topics next to each other. I find that it's also helpful to tell your self/ think of the reasons why you are placing post-it notes together. By giving justifications you will be reinforcing your knowledge. 
• Finally compare your post-it note mind map against your original mind map and ask yourself if it matches or if you could move one of your key words.

This game has endless possibilities, you could time your self to see how quickly you can play or you could play against you're friends.

I hope this has been helpful and as always I hope this has inspired you!
