Tongue Twisters (easy/intermediate)

Tongue Twisters

A tongue twister is a phrase or sentence that is difficult to say because it contains many similar sounds.
Example: "She sells seashells by the seashore."

They help improve your pronunciation and diction.
They are a fun way to warm up your mouth before speaking or reading out loud.
They can improve your language skills and make you more aware of sound patterns in English.

Silly spacemen spin swiftly in space, seeking shiny stars in the solar system's space.
Twinkling, twisting, twirling, turning, tiny twinkling stars teasingly twinkle in the twilight.
Planets plodding in perfect patterns, passing by pulsing planets and pale pink moons.
Galactic galaxies gleam and glow, growing grander as they go, guiding galactic gurus as they go.

Write your own tongue twister

Challenge your classmates to a tongue twister race. Each student takes turns saying a tongue twister as fast as they can without making any mistakes. The student who can say the tongue twister the fastest without messing up wins the challenge.
Create a tongue twister relay. Divide the class into teams and have each team member take turns saying a different tongue twister. The team that completes all of their tongue twisters the fastest without any mistakes wins the challenge.
Have a tongue twister marathon. Choose a list of tongue twisters and see how many each student can say in one minute without making any mistakes. The student who can say the most tongue twisters correctly in the allotted time wins the challenge.
