This is a pretty abstract game, but here are a couple premises that may suit your needs as a mnemonic device for remembering the rules. Choose one that fits your tastes, the rules are the same either way.

Wedding: Your pawns are flower girls and your queen is a bride. Your bride needs to go to the opposite corner of the board. Before she can move, she must have a trail of flower petals laid down for her to walk across.

A Night Out: The queen is a high-powered celebrity who wants to move to the opposite side of the nightclub. The pawns are the requisite entourage muscling a clear path through the crowd.

Pathfinders: Your pawns are blazing trails and moving aside debris for your caravan to pass through. (Battlestar Galactica, perhaps?)

Using pawns to create paths, be the first to guide your queen to the other side.
