 my teacher taught us a trick that is:

paul son baby can make zoo in a library. he can make silver gold platinum..

it is easy to study...if you remember this sentence then just take the first letter of every word and then it is the element in the reactivity series.....

paul : potassium 

son: sulphur

baby :barium 

in: iron

a : aluminium

library: lead

he: hydrogen

can : copper

make: magnesium

silver: silver

gold : gold

platinum : platinum

it may not be meaningful but trust me it helped me a lot...

hope it helps you too....

(thumbs up if you like it!!)

 Yes, there are simple ways to remember the reactivity series.

Try one way: remember it as PSC MAZIL HC MSG, where they stand respectively for Potassium, Sodium, Calcium, Magnesium, Aluminium, Zinc, Iron, Lead, Hydrogen, Carbon, Mercury, Silver, Gold.
