Fun way to torment most native speakers of the English language: ask them to recite the alphabet. No singing. No rhythm. Just recite the letters one after another. The looks on people's faces as they try to overcome the conditioning laid down by generations upon generations of teachers, family, etc. to SING THAT DAMNED SONG are priceless.
