Learning Basic Valencies And The Reactivity Series

So our exams just went by, and I don't really remember things quickly, so I use different ways to remember things. One such example is how I remember valencies and the reactivity series. I will share my tips, but ultimately, you must make your own technique.  I have tried numerous times to learn things using other people's ways, and they do not work. I discovered this the hard way so, please don't use anybody else’s technique and please do not try to learn anything without understanding. 

First, let us start with the reactivity series. This may seem a bit dry in the beginning. K,NA,CA..WHAT?!

The Reactivity Series (From most reactive to least reactive)  |	Name
K	Potassium
Na	Sodium
Ca	Calcium
Mg	Magnesium
Al	Aluminium
Zn	Zinc
Fe	Iron
Pb	Lead
H	Hydrogen
Cu	Copper
Hg	Mercury
Ag	Silver
Au	Gold

But the way I remembered it as:

The Reactivity Series (From most reactive to least reactive)	Name	Remember it as:
K	Potassium	Please
Na	Sodium	Stop
Ca	Calcium	Calling
Mg	Magnesium	Me
Al	Aluminium	A
Zn	Zinc	Zebra
Fe	Iron	I
Pb	Lead	Like
H	Hydrogen	His
Cu	Copper	Cuteness
Hg	Mercury	Mister
Ag	Silver	Stupid
Au	Gold	Goat

Imagine a girl protecting her brother after she was being bullied and she says "please stop calling me a goat I like his cuteness mister stupid goat" and bravo you have remembered it. You must make your own adaptation or technique but this one is the one I used. 

The below is a Quizlet I made to help me remember me remember the basic valencies but you can do it the way you want.
