my 2 cents or less.

I see the same. Kids will not bother stopping activities and they will
pile up, so any of the ideas in this thread will probably help. A
visual cue might be "easier" to implement and also more "educational".
My feeling is that kids will quickly understand that a resource
(memory in this case) is limited.
