Sing a song "All those from Kumasi, stand up, and dance..." and perform actions on it. Ask learners to mention the names of the hometowns of their family members. List them on the Chalkboard (Whiteboard). Pronounce them and have them listen and identify the towns with similar initial sounds. Eg. Kumasi, Konongo, Mankessim, Mamfe. Call learners to form a group according to the letter beginning the names of their towns. Have learners group and count towns with similar initial sounds. Compare the group with the highest number.
