"Mom, are we the red team or the white team?" Joe asked while watching Women's Volleyball.
Then he began saying "Let's go white team!"

I was a little shocked how into the Olympics my 3 & 4 year old did.

Non the less, when moments like this arise and you can build upon their memories and show immediate connections in time, they be able to retain and remember significant moments.

These memory boosters may be applied later down the road, such as in a World History class, but it also allows children to begin to build on their retaining memory. We tend to connect an event with a time period. If we can create these connections, children will be able to utilize their saved "storage space" (aka their brains).
