You probably taught that the ending -o is usually used to determine if a noun is masculine, and that the ending -a, determines if the noun is feminine. The following sample exercise takes students to a second level of determining GENDER. Acronyms can help students determine the gender of nouns when then have other endings. All students need to do is check the endings of the words. There will always be exceptions to the rule.
