When learning the fingering and location on the fretboard for new chords I have found it helpful to draw the chord configuration & location on the fret board on large pieces of construction paper. I have them propped up nearby where I can view them while I play.
Colouring helps too. All G chords in blue, D chords in green, C chords in yellow etc.....
I seem to learn best visually and these kind of props have been helpful, and make the learning process fun.
