That leaves only 10 facts to learn:

The hardest fact of all: 7 x 6 = 42

The rhyming six facts: 6 x 4 = 24 6 x 6 = 36 6 x 8 = 48

A couple of square poems:

You are cool, you are fine; 7 x 7 is 49.
Close your mouth, shut the door; 8 x 8 is 64.

The backwards fact: 5, 6, 7, 8: 56 = 7 x 8

And the last three:
4 x 4 = 16 buy a 4x4 when you are 16
4 x 7 = 28 February fact: 4 weeks of 7 days = 28 days
4 x 8 = 32 4 people ate (8) but they were thirsty too (32)

One last hint

Don’t forget that these number sentences can be switched, 8 x 4 has the same answer as 4 x 8. That means you only need to learn half of the times table! Once you learn half, you’ve learned them all. If you can’t remember the trick you learned to answer a question, rearrange the numbers and see if you can remember the answer then.
