Acronyms & Abbreviations

Jan 22

Here is a new CST activity (thanks for the idea 💡 Tim). It's short but sweet and asks members to simply guess the meaning of the acronym or abbreviation. A pictorial clue for each is provided. You could print out the slides for the tables (I've attached a powerpoint) or you could project the slides onto a screen. By the way, if anyone has any others to recommend I can easily add another slide. As usual, for completeness, there are a couple of song recommendations at the end.
