This is a great activity for learning the **ALPHABET** in any language, courtesy of //Darcy Ebert// at //DeWitt High School//. user:flanne13
 * This is a song to the tune of the army song "sound off."
 * Have students start by getting a beat going with their feet or hands on the desks (1-2-1-2).
 * Then sing the "sound off" song with the alphabet in this order, having your students repeat in the appropriate places (all in the TL of course):

A B C D E F G (Repeat) H I J K LMNOP (Repeat, last 4 letters faster) Q R (Repeat) S T (Repeat) U V W (Repeat, more of a pause between letters) X --- Y Z (Repeat, --- indicates slightly longer pause)


 * A nice variation is to have the students take turns calling/repeating (boys, then girls, etc).

We use a similar method at //East Lansing High School//. (Courtsey of Ms. Marie Kuzych-Howard) We also use the military sound-off with a slight variation... user:heinke_raymond
