Tried the alphabet to find a profession for each. It was fun. We did this on a whiteboard Residents enjoyed this activity.

I've done something similar - we went through the alphabet to find a profession for each, and the next week compared notes. I also did surnames that ended in someone's 'son' - Thompson, Simpson.
