Many classes enjoy practicing tongue-twisters. Explain to the class that some combinations of English sounds are difficult even for native speakers, and that tongue- twisters are a word game based on these sounds. Choose one of these sentences and write it on the board:

• She sells sea shells by the sea shore.
• Red lorry, yellow lorry, red lorry, yellow lorry.
• How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
• A proper copper coffee pot.
• Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
• Mixed biscuits, mixed biscuits.

Read it aloud for the students, then have them read it slowly, then faster and faster. Ask, Can you say it to your partner fast three times? If there are other sounds that are a problem for your students, challenge the class to write their own tongue twister sentences for everyone to practice.
