If you're like me, you can name most of the 10 Commandments. The following is a
trick that I learned to not only remember them ALL, but also list them in order:

The first place ribbon represents that God should always be number one in our lives and is a reminder of the 1st Commandment: Thou shalt have no other gods before Me.

The shape of the man bowing down to an idol is a reminder of the 2nd Commandment: Thou shalt not make unto thyself any graven image.

The lips represents not speaking loosely of God’s name and the shape of the edge of the lips is a reminder of the 3
rd Commandment:
Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.

The shape of the book end and Bible is a reminder of the 4
th Commandment:
Remember the Sabbath to keep it holy.

The man and woman represent parents and their shape is a reminder of the 5
th Commandment:
Honor thy father and thy mother.

The bomb represents death and destruction and the shape of the outline of this bomb is a reminder of the 6
th Commandment:
Thou shalt not commit murder.

The broken heart represents what happens because of adultery and the shape of the void in between the two halves of the heart is a reminder of the 7
th Commandment:
Thou shalt not commit adultery.

The burglar represents theft and the shape of the burglar’s mask is a reminder of the 8
th Commandment:
Thou shalt not steal.

The lying-down position of the number 9 is a reminder of the 9
th Commandment:
Thou shalt not bear false witness (lie).

The man desiring the jewelry and the shape of the man in the doorway and the diamond ring is a reminder of the 10th Commandment: Thou shalt not covet.
I hope that helps for anyone interested in using this tool for memory. It is also a great idea for young children just learning God's law.
