• Tutor welcomes all volunteers to this workshop and introduces the ice-breaker activity: Three Letter Words.
• Tutor gives each learner 3 letters each, comprising 2 consonants and 1 vowel.
• Learners then have 45 seconds to form a three-letter word with one or two other people.
• Learners must form a three-letter word with at least one other learner.
• Once they have formed a word, they both write it down on a piece of paper.
• Repeat this exercise for 3-4 rounds.
• Then increase the challenge by asking learners to make words with four, five and six letters.
• This is a good ice-breaker to get learners to engage with creative and critical thinking processes; as well as putting them at their ease in working with the group.
