"My Very Easy Method Just Speeds Up Names" Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune

The first letter of each of these words represents a planet - in the correct order. Here are other examples:

My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine.

Mom Visits Every Monday, Just Stays Until Noon.

My Very Eager Mother Just Served Us Noodles.

Now it's your turn!

Remember: It is a mnemonic phrase because the first letter of each word is the same as the first letter of each planet. In pairs or small groups make up your own mnemonics phrases to help you remember the planets and their order in the solar system.

Once you finish doing this, read your phrases out loud to the class.
