The document describes a phonetic pronunciation game called "Whack a phoneme" and recommends books on pronunciation. It provides instructions for playing Whack a phoneme: students write a phoneme on a post-it and stick it to their forehead, take turns saying words with each other's phonemes before being "whacked" by the person in the middle. If a student is unable to think of a new word in time, they are whacked and switch places with the whacker. The purpose is to practice pronunciation of different phonemes.

Whack a phoneme rules:
SOURCE: http://gordonscruton.blogspot.com.ar/2011/07/using-phonetic-chart.html
? Students choose a phoneme, write it on a post-it & stick it to their forehead.
? Students stand in a circle with one person (the whacker) in the middle holding
the whacking implement.
? One person starts by saying a word that includes one of the post-it phonemes.
? The person whose phoneme was said must say a new word with a different
phoneme before the whacker whacks them.
? If they say the word quickly enough, play continues until someone is whacked.
? The person whacked changes places with the whacker and play resumes.
