Make Forgettable Numbers

Into Memorable Numbers!

Does your child have a hard time remembering phone numbers? Here's a fun solution. It gets kids working with letters and numbers. Use the alphanumeric keypad on the phone to turn the numbers into words or phrases.

For instance, the number 542-7279 could translate to library. Or 646-9228 could be OhMyCat.

Tell your child that it's like cracking a code.

If you can't make a word, be creative. Pay attention to advertisers who want you to recall a number. Do what they do. Use numbers and letters: Icook4U. Or use the prefix with a word: 917-Play.
