NATO phonetic alphabet

Me and my dad have been learning the NATO phonetic alphabet in the car.

The NATO phonetic alphabet is used in radio communication to make sure you don't make mistakes.

For example, Holly = Hotel Oscar Lima Lima Yankee.

Why don't we make a Y4 phonetic alphabet. Maybe we can use our names, colours or foods?


A: Apple
B: Blue
C:
D:
E: Egg
F:
G: Grape
H:
I: Ice-cream
J:
K:
L: Leonie
M:
N:
O: 
P:
Q:
R: Red
S:
T:
U:
V:
W:
X:
Y:
Z:

Then we can have fun and make up names for each other or our families.

    I've wanted to learn the NATO phonetic alphabet for a long time. Often I'm on the phone and say something like "My names's Mr Gregg," and they say, "How do you spell that?" and I say "That's G as in...." and all the things beginning with G go out of my mind.

    I need to know straight away: "G as in golf" and all the rest! Maybe we should start learning it in class before we make our own one!
