Sing the first 20 to the the wombles song, (underground overground etc) It
has the same (approximately) number of syllables so it works
Hydrogen, helium, lithium etc (from this i knew the first 20 elements at
the age of 12).
It's best feature is that it also gives the second letter of all but 2
of the 2-letter element symbols.
Don't think the interests of high schoolers have deviated much from the
subject in the last half-century, either!

Professor "Buzz" Hentz told me his mnemonic for the Lanthanides at a time
before the naming of element 61:

It still brings a smile for many good reasons.
I'll list a few of mine. The rest make reference to various parts of the
anatomy or just names of people I know. I have them for all but the inner
transitions, your mileage may vary.

Many years ago (1963) I was required to learn the entire periodic table
(except the transuranium elements) for a course entitled "Advanced
Inorganic Chemistry." While I did not have any mnemonics, I did find that
the entire table can be PRONOUNCED, and I memorized it that way, a row at a
time. I still receive requests from my daughter in college to recite it for
her friends, an exercise which can make one feel like an incredible geek.
This one is probably best in Norwegian, but as far as I can see it can be
easily transferred to other languages. I teach it to my students every
year:

-And that leads to irritation, you fool, because before Pallad Athena and

miracle with their car, you will know what blows into the grave.
-Ball, elegancy, Indians in Taliban, coal is the power of Germans, the dream

to provide You first on the acid settle; Then neutralize with the proper

But if the salt will not dissolve, A simpler means you'll try: Precipitate
it, you resolve, Then filter, wash and dry.
