I learned my Greek Alphabetization as a teenager (I don't know whether that
qualifies me as a child). I was taking Latin at the time and Minnesota
Latin (or Classics) teachers held a classics weekend at one of the state
colleges. We would have electives of several classes and one year I took
Greek. Our teacher had us chant the alphabet in groups (sort of like the
ABC song).

It stuck so (with 45 min exposure) that I could retrieve it some
twenty-five years later when I started studying Greek for real.
We had a thread a while back where people were actually mapping the Greek
alphabet to the ABC song. It's over a year ago 'cause I can't find it in
my archives, but maybe you could search the B-Greek archives.
God bless.
