Description of activity: The teacher starts silently saying the alphabet. One student stops him/her and the teacher calls out the letter at which he/she was interrupted. All students start to write one item to each category. The fastest stops the time and starts calling out the written words. Everyone who has written a word that was NOT written by anybody else, gets a point. So, the fastest person might not be the winner of the round. The winner can stop the teacher reciting the alphabet in the next round.
