Letters Lead to Amusing Words
Everybody has a favorite letter of the alphabet. A great way to make that letter work for you is to think of all the different words that begin with it. Here's a way of turning this list into a fun classroom activity.
1. Arrange the students in a circle.
2. Choose a letter at random.
3. Give students 10 seconds to think of a few words that start with that letter.
4. Choose someone to start.
5. Continue around the circle until a player cannot come up with a new word after five seconds.
6. Record each word and count the total.
7. Keep a record of words and scores for each letter.
8. Compare the scores between letters.
