Two ways. Take your choice
----------------------------------
Remember that their names begin with A, J, M, T (two of each) plus F, H, P, V, W. That's easier to remember. And when you know what first letters you need, it's easier to recall the names.
-- John Adams, John Quincy Adams
-- Jefferson, Jackson
-- Madison, Monroe
-- Tyler, Taylor
-- Fillmore; Harrison; Polk; Van Buren; Washington
----------------------------------
Here's a song, to the tune of Yankee Doodle:

Washington was first and then came
Adams and Tom Jefferson
Madison, Monroe and Adams
Jackson and Van Buren

Harrison, Tyler, Polk and Taylor
Fillmore, Pierce, Buchanan
Lincoln, Johnson, Grant and Hayes and
Garfield ruled the land then.

Arthur was the 21st and
22 was Cleveland
Harrison was 23 and
back came President Cleveland

McKinley and then Roosevelt
Taft and Woodrow Wilson
Harding and then Coolidge and then
maybe someday you can.

[That's as far as it goes!]

In 5th grade my teacher made me memorize all of the presidents
The easiest way that she taught us was to memorize it in a rap song
It doesn't have to be rap, it could be any kind of music
She said that it is useless to write out each name when you can have FUN with it!
HAVE FUN

I have to have the first 21 presidents by Fri, The way I do it is to read them and try to remember their order, then write them in order to see if you know them, repeat.
