MSNative Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Not what you're looking for but this amused me. Flower Toga boys rap - Don't have a mnemonic for you, but figured I'd post the list and see if the creative types of the hive might be inspired.

pqr Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 Nope. But I do have one for the 9 Greek Muses if you need it. I would love to see it. For the labors I came up with Never Let Children Enter State Supported Classes; Many Babes Come Away Harmed The issue again is using N for Nemean vs L for Lion. Not sure which is easier for children to memorize. Nemean ensures accuracy in that if they remember that then lion follows easily while the opposite is not necessarily true.

Kareni Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 At this site, someone mentioned having to memorize the 12 labors of Hercules and doing so by putting it to the tune of "The 12 Days of Christmas". Regards, Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtnTeaching Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I would love to see it. For the 9 Muses I have: Candy Can Erode Teeth; Moms Think Enamel's Pretty Useful. (Or the one I think is pretty lame) Can Carl educate Tom's Mother to empty Pop's urn? NAME = PRESIDED OVER Calliope= epic poetry Clio= history Erato= erotic or love poetry and song Thalia= Comedy Melpomene= tragedy Terpsichore= dancing Euterpe= lyric poetry Polyhymnia= sacred poetry and song Urania= astronomy The Greek Muses were daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne and presided over learning and the arts.
