Instructor Notes

Resources: The handout cards on the next page can be copied and cut to be used as handouts for each attendee.

Directions: Take your time, but only count once. (Give the attendees 30 seconds to 1 minute). Count the number of ‘F’s in the following sentence.

Answer: There are six F’s in this sentence. Most people see 3. One theory is because the brain does not process the word OF. The letter F usually makes the “f” sound like in the word “fox.” However, in the word “OF” it makes a “v” sound. Another theory is because the brain overlooks small words such as “OF”.

De-Brief: It is easy for our brains to get conditioned to overlook the small things. What is so routine for you that you are overlooking it?
