Fun tongue twisters


Perfect Your Pronunciation With These 100 English Tongue Twisters

Diana Lăpușneanu in Language Tips | August 23, 2019

Ready to have a laugh and twist your tongue into a knot?

Tongue twisters of all sorts and sizes have been helping people to perfect their pronunciation in English for decades. Although they don’t make a lot of sense, tongue twisters are very helpful in speech therapy due to their repeated sounds. For this reason, they are used by actors, politicians and even news anchors before going live. Essentially, a tongue twister works like a physical exercise: the more you practice, the better your pronunciation will be.

According to the Cambridge Dictionary, a tongue twister is “a sentence or phrase that is intended to be difficult to say, especially when repeated quickly and often”. If you too want to improve or perfect your English pronunciation, dive into the complete list of English tongue twisters listed below: from short tongue twisters to tongue twisters for kids and hard tongue twisters to further challenge your pronunciation.

  1. Short tongue twisters
  2. Long tongue twisters
  3. Hard tongue twister
  4. Tongue twisters for kids
  5. Funny tongue twisters
  6. Tongue twisters with S, R, L and TH
  7. Learn a language in 5 minutes a day

Long tongue twisters

When it comes to long tongue twisters and talking fast, we can’t help but think about Eminem. Did you know that he raps with a whopping speed of 11.4 syllables per second in his song “Rap God”? We don’t know much about rap, but that sure sounds like something only the God of Rap could do.

But Eminem’s songs and long tongue twisters are challenging for those who are not ready for long runs. Are you? Can you defeat Eminem? Let’s find out. Take a deep breath and try saying the following tongue twister without stopping.

  1. All I want is a proper cup of coffee.
    Made in a proper copper coffee pot.
    You can believe it or not.
    But I want a cup of coffee from a proper copper pot.
    Tin coffee pots or iron coffee pots, they’re not good to me.
    If I can’t have a proper cup of coffee from a proper copper coffee pot, I’ll just have tea.
    All I want is a proper cup of coffee.
    Made in a proper copper coffee pot.
    You can believe it or not.
    But I want a cup of coffee from a proper copper pot.
  2. To sit in solemn silence in a dull, dark dock,
    In a pestilential prison, with a life-long lock,
    Awaiting the sensation of a short, sharp shock,
    From a cheap and chippy chopper on a big black block!
    To sit in solemn silence in a dull, dark dock,
    In a pestilential prison, with a life-long lock,
    Awaiting the sensation of a short, sharp shock,
    From a cheap and chippy chopper on a big black block!
    A dull, dark dock, a life-long lock,
    A short, sharp shock, a big black block!
    To sit in solemn silence in a pestilential prison,
    And awaiting the sensation
    From a cheap and chippy chopper on a big black block!
  3. Betty Botter bought some butter but, said she, the butter’s bitter.
    If I put it in my batter, it will make my batter bitter.
    But a bit of better butter will make my bitter batter better.
    So she bought some better butter, better than the bitter butter,
    put it in her bitter batter, made her bitter batter better.
    So ‘t was better Betty Botter bought some better butter.
  4. I’m a mother pheasant plucker, I pluck mother pheasants.
    I’m the most pleasant mother pheasant plucker to ever pluck a mother pheasant.
    I’m not the pheasant plucker I’m the pheasant plucker’s wife, I’ve been plucking Mother pheasants my whole pheasant plucking life.
    I’m not the pheasant plucker I’m the pheasant plucker’s mate, I’m only plucking Pheasants ’cause the pheasant plucker’s late.
  5. A tree-toad loved a she-toad
    Who lived up in a tree.
    He was a two-toed tree-toad,
    But a three-toed toad was she.
    The two-toed tree-toad tried to win
    The three-toed she-toad’s heart,
    For the two-toed tree-toad loved the ground
    That the three-toed tree-toad trod.
    But the two-toed tree-toad tried in vain;
    He couldn’t please her whim.
    From her tree-toad bower,
    With her three-toed power,
    The she-toad vetoed him.

  1. Mr. See owned a saw.
    And Mr. Soar owned a seesaw.
    Now, See’s saw sawed Soar’s seesaw
    Before Soar saw See,
    Which made Soar sore.
    Had Soar seen See’s saw
    Before See sawed Soar’s seesaw,
    See’s saw would not have sawed
    Soar’s seesaw.
    So See’s saw sawed Soar’s seesaw.
    But it was sad to see Soar so sore
    just because See’s saw sawed
    Soar’s seesaw.
  2. Ned Nott was shot and Sam Shott was not.
    So it is better to be Shott than Nott.
    Some say Nott was not shot.
    But Shott says he shot Nott.
    Either the shot Shott shot at Nott was not shot,
    Or Nott was shot.
    If the shot Shott shot shot Nott, Nott was shot.
    But if the shot Shott shot shot Shott,
    Then Shott was shot, not Nott.
    However, the shot Shott shot shot not Shott, but Nott.
  3. Theophilus Thistle, the Thistle Sifter,
    Sifted a sieve of unsifted thistles.
    If Theophilus Thistle, the Thistle Sifter,
    Sifted a sieve of unsifted thistles,
    Where is the sieve of un-sifted thistles
    Theophilus Thistle, the Thistle Sifter, sifted?
  4. A flea and a fly in a flue
    Said the fly “Oh what should we do”
    Said the flea” Let us fly
    Said the fly “Let us flee”
    So they flew through a flaw in the flue.
  5. Of all the felt I ever felt,
    I never felt a piece of felt
    which felt as fine as that felt felt,
    when first I felt that felt hat’s felt.

Hard tongue twisters

While we’re at it, we can help but wonder what the hardest tongue twister in existence is. Contrary to popular belief, it’s not supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

At one point, “the sixth sick sheikh’s sixth sheep’s sick” held the Guinness World Record for the hardest twister, but since the category no longer exists, the title was probably revoked.

 

Don’t worry though! We are not running out of options. In 2013, MIT‌ researchers concluded that “pad kid poured curd pulled cod” is the hardest tongue twister in the world. In fact, Stefanie Shattuck-Hufnagel, an MIT psychologist, says you will get a prize if you manage to say that 10 times quickly. And not any kind of “quickly”. We’re talking super-sonic-Eminem-quickly!

  1. Pad kid poured curd pulled cod.
  2. If you must cross a course cross cow across a crowded cow crossing, cross the cross coarse cow across the crowded cow crossing carefully.
  3. Brisk brave brigadiers brandished broad bright blades, blunderbusses, and bludgeons — balancing them badly.
  4. Six sick hicks nick six slick bricks with picks and sticks.
  5. Can you can a canned can into an un-canned can like a canner can can a canned can into an un-canned can?
  6. The sixth sick sheikh’s sixth sheep’s sick.
  7. Rory the warrior and Roger the worrier were reared wrongly in a rural brewery.
  8. Ingenious iguanas improvising an intricate impromptu on impossibly-impractical instruments.
  9. I saw Susie sitting in a shoe shine shop
    Where she shines, she sits, and where she sits, she shines.
  10. When a doctor doctors a doctor, does the doctor doing the doctoring doctor as the doctor being doctored wants to be doctored or does the doctor doing the doctoring doctor as he wants to doctor?
  11. These thousand tricky tongue twisters trip thrillingly off the tongue.
  12. Thirty-three thirsty, thundering thoroughbreds thumped Mr. Thurber on Thursday.
  13. Brisk brave brigadiers brandished broad bright blades, blunderbusses, and bludgeons—balancing them badly.
  14. A skunk sat on a stump and thunk the stump stunk, but the stump thunk the skunk stunk.
  15. Give papa a cup of proper coffee in a copper coffee cup.
  16. He threw three free throws.
  17. Near an ear, a nearer ear, a nearly eerie ear.
  18. Many an anemone sees an enemy anemone.
  19. Chop shops stock chops.

Tongue twisters for kids

Tongue twisters for kids are all sweet, fun, and games until you increase the speed. If you haven’t had enough training, even they can tie your tongue into a Gordian knot. Literally.

 

Take a little brother, sister, or your own kid, and let’s see who wins the challenge!

  18. I scream, you scream,
    We all scream for ice cream.
  19. Bouncing bed bugs borrowed blankets.

Tongue twisters with S, R, L and TH

As we already mentioned, tongue twisters can be extremely helpful for speech therapy. If you are having problems pronouncing certain sounds like “s”, “r”, “l” or “th”, practicing with the right tongue twisters can ameliorate your speech impediment. Here are a few examples:

Tongue twisters with S

  1. She sells seashells by the seashore of Seychelles.
  2. “Surely Sylvia swims!” shrieked Sammy surprised. “Someone should show Sylvia some strokes so she shall not sink.”
  3. Selfish shellfish. (repeat it several times)

Tongue twisters with R and L

  6. Round and round the rugged rocks the ragged rascal ran.

Tongue twisters with TH

  1. The thirty-three thieves thought that they thrilled the throne throughout Thursday.
  2. I thought a thought.
    But the thought I thought
    Wasn’t the thought I thought I thought.
    If the thought I thought I thought,
    Had been the thought I thought,
    I wouldn’t have thought I thought.
  3. Something in a thirty-acre thermal thicket of thorns and thistles thumped and thundered threatening the three-D thoughts of Matthew the thug – although, theatrically, it was only the thirteen-thousand thistles and thorns through the underneath of his thigh that the thirty-year-old thug thought of that morning.
  4. Thirty-three thousand feathers on a thrushes throat.

The world-famous Peter Piper tongue twister first appeared in print sometime in 1813, in a book called “Peter Piper’s Practical Principles of Plain and Perfect Pronunciation”, though it is believed that it may have already been in common use by that time. Fast forward to today, people all around the world still love to have a laugh and twist their tongues with this rhyme and many others. And now you do too.

Tongue Twisters have been around for many many years and are such a fun way to try to challenge yourself and your kids to say them to see if you can. It is not always about the speed of the tongue twister but how clearly you can say it too.

Tongue twisters are often similar words which follow one another but differ in certain syllables.

So if your child has a dream to become an actor, television host, or even a radio DJ host tongue twisters are a great way for them to practice and be prepared for when their big break comes.

Fun Tongue Twisters from Dr. Seuss

We love the tongue twisters above, but we all know no one compares with the original bard of twisting kids’ tongues: Dr. Seuss.

That’s why one of our favorite Dr. Seuss books is Oh Say Can You Say?

Of course, this book is more than just a set of tongue twisters… It’s a lively classic that kids still love today.

The book is illustrated with all the whimsy of a Dr. Seuss story, and loaded with rhymes and sentences we know you can’t say three times fast.

If this isn’t already part of your collection, it needs to be. Click here to snag Oh Say Can You Say?

 

Benefits of Tongue Twisters

Tongue Twisters can be difficult but such a great fun way to improve a child’s memory and reading skills. Children who practice tongue twisters can improve their English and better their knowledge of rhyming words and you will find that they learn to appreciate sounds. 

Tongue twisters have so many benefits for young children especially when it comes to speech and language. Doing tongue twisters can help exercise their muscles that help lead to clearer pronunciation and gives them the ability to speak clearly.

 Tongue twisters can also help a child recognize what words are difficult for them to pronounce. Try a few of these tongue twisters and you may even notice yourself a word that is difficult for your child to pronounce. When a child knows a certain word is hard to say they can then focus individually on a certain word to master it.Once they master a hard word they can then be more successful at tongue twisters because it will not slow them down. 

Another benefit you will notice of Tongue twisters is increasing your child’s vocabulary. Use these tongue twisters to talk about words they may not know the meaning to just yet. As you introduce new tongue twisters you will find that you are increasing their vocabulary. 

 

Turning Tongue Twisters Into a Game with Your Kids

You can, of course, just run through the list above but why not make a game of it? Here’s how to play the game:

Print the page, cut out each twister line and put them loosely in a bag.

Go around the table and get each person to pull one tongue twister out of the bag for their challenge.

Depending on the age range of those playing or the difficulty of the twister, you can create mini-challenges:

  • See how quickly someone can say their challenge correctly.
  • Try saying the twister over and over and count the number times it’s said before the user messes it up.
  • Say the twister with a straight face, no laughing (this is harder than you think.
  • Play broken telephone, repeating the twister quietly to the person next to you and see what turns out in the end.

 

Now that you and your kids have been challenging each other at tongue twisters if you have an Alexa you can now send the kids to play with your Alexa. Just go to your Alexa, and say Alexa, open tongue twisters. Make sure you have enabled it on your app first and see how well they do!  

 

Conclusion

When a family comes together for events or holidays, there are many ways they can spend time together and make memories. One of those ways is through silly or engaging games, and something we would highly recommend is tongue twisters.
