This character looks like a kid that is beginning to learn how to write English letters as there is a sideways E and T in the character. 岁 means years old so we can remember this with thinking a person that is around 5 years old was trying to practice their letter writing.

It looks like candles on a birthday cake (which show how old you are).

It looks like a hand carrying a harpoon. Poseidon had a harpoon and he’s a Greek god, so he’s very old.

The upper part looks like a crown which can be associated with birthday parties- celebration of how old you are

The letter “s” can be seen in the right part of this character, reminding us that the pinyin of this character starts with an “s”. The top part of this character also looks similar to a “w”, which can remind us that this character sounds like the English word “sway”.

To me it looks like a crown, which older people usually wear, so it can be associated with “age”

Remembering a little crown on top of a ship helped me remember what the character looked like.
