め -- because "me" means "eye", and the shape looks similar to an eye.

ぬ -- looks like chopsticks and "nu-ddles"

シ -- "Shi is smiling"

ね -- looks like a net.... so you "ne-t a big fish"

ツ -- looks like a snake and two rocks... "Becareful, i-tsu snake!!"

... these were actual mnemonics from my Japanese 1 class.
