What’s in a name? Letters, of course! Partners place the letters of their names on a Venn diagram. Letters they have in common are named and placed in the overlapping area of the circles, while letters unique to just one of the names are placed in the corresponding circle. Letters that appear in neither name are placed to the side of the diagram.
