Phonetics Aide Memoir - Group Coordinators should print enough copes of this so that each YV can keep a copy in the back of their notebook.
Activity 1: Presentation
Start by presenting these slides on Pocket Notebooks.
Activity 2: Memorise
It's important that they have memorised the acronyms SCRUB and ELBOWS.
Therefore we want them to split into two (or four) groups and make up a song to a popular tune that incorporates the terms. They can use something traditional like a nursery rhyme or something more contemporary.
For example you could try replacing the lyrics of 'Cold Water' with words related to the ELBOW acronym.
'No Scrubs' by TLC is just waiting for you to change the words!
When ready, each group will perform to each other.
