Is there anything like this? It probably should be in a form of a child story or something similar.
there is one for Dativ:
"Mit, nach, von, seit, aus, zu, bei verlangen stets Fall Nummer drei."

fub-dog suffices (since the somehere else listed wider is old-fashioned and entlang is not accustive-preposition).
It helps to remember the list: für, um, bis, durch ohne, gegen. Or so I hope.
Oh, this dative-verse is really cute! Although it withholds binnen, entgegen, gegenüber, gemäß, laut, (mit-)samt and zuliebe. But okay.
I wouldn't know one for the prepositions that can only take the accusative, but as these are: à, bis, durch, für, gegen, je, per, pro, um and wider, you might want to try
a-bi-du / fü-ge-je / p-p-um / wi und Schluss
I certainly will not ge given the Nobel Price for Literature for that one, but if it helps YOU, it's good enough.
If saying it doesn't help you to remember, sing it. Yes, I'm serious! Maybe there's an old children's song or a folksong or a pop song with a suitable melody. Or try it with your most expressive baritone voice - whatsoever. It works.
Cheers!
