How to create a tongue twister

How to Write a Tongue Twister – Kenn Nesbitt's Poetry4kids.com

Tongue twisters are one of the most fun forms of wordplay for kids. The more challenging they are to speak, the more fun they can be. Most tongue twisters take one of three forms:

1. Phrases that are hard to repeat several times in a row, such as “toy boat” or “unique New York.”
2. Phrases or sentences that are hard to say, such as “she sells sea shells by the seashore” or “rubber baby buggy bumpers.”
3. Poems like “Betty Botter” by Carolyn Wells.

You can create your own tongue twisters too. All you need is a pencil and paper, and a little imagination. Let me show you how.

Alliteration Tongue Twisters

The simplest form of tongue twister is one that simply uses alliteration, where the words you use all have the same first consonant sound. A classic example of this is:

Round the rugged rock, the ragged rascal ran.

You’ll notice that most of the words in this sentence start with the letter “r. ” However, what makes the sentence a tongue twister is not just that the words start with the same consonant sound, but that they have different vowel sounds as well: “ow” in round, “uh” in rugged, “ah” in rock, and a short “a” in ragged, rascal, and ran. Moreover, “rugged” and “ragged” are so similar, that it’s easy to get them mixed up.

“Betty Botter” uses a similar technique.

Betty Botter bought some butter;
“But,” said she, “this butter’s bitter!

As you can see, this tongue twister poem uses alliteration with the letter “b” and also uses similar words like Botter, butter, and bitter, as well as Betty, bought, and but.

You can create your own alliterative tongue twister by following these steps:

1. Pick a consonant.
2. Write down as many words as you can think of that start with that letter. The more alike they sound, the better.
3. Make up a sentence that uses as many of your words as possible.

For example, let’s say we use the letter “p.” Here are some words that start with “p”:

• Peter
• Potter
• Poodle
• Peanut butter

You could string these together like this:

Peter Potter put a poodle in his peanut butter.

Now it’s your turn. Pick a letter and see if you can think of a bunch of similar sounding words that you can string together into a sentence. Try this with several different letters and see which one is the hardest to say.

More Advanced Tongue Twisters

If you want to write more challenging tongue twisters – ones that are harder to speak without tripping up – here are a couple of things you can do:

Almost Alliteration

Find consonant letter combinations that are almost alliterative, but not quite, such as “c,” “cl,” and “cr.” For example, you might write something like this:

Cam crammed creamed clams in clean clam cans.

Another example is using the letters “s,” “th,” and “f,” as in this famous tongue twister:

Theophilus Thistle, the thistle sifter,
Sifted a sieve of unsifted thistles.

You could even make your own version of this one by finding other words with similar sounds. How about something like this?

My sister sifted thistles by the fistful.

Reversing Similar Sounds

Find words that sound almost the same, but reverse the positions of the letter sounds. This is why “she sells seashells by the seashore” is one of the most famous tongue twisters. Reversing the positions of “s” and “sh” in “she sells” and “sea shells” makes it difficult to say. I used this particular tongue twister for the basis of my poem “Shelley Sellers” from my book My Hippo Has the Hiccups.

For example, I wrote  a poem called “Gabby Bought a Baby Beagle” for my book The Tighty-Whitey Spider. In this poem, the words “Gabby” and “Beagle” reverse the positions of the “g” and the “b,” and even throw in the word “baby” which has two b’s, making it especially difficult to say.

Tongue Twister Poems

Once you’ve practiced and can do all of this, at last comes the trickiest part of all: Creating a tongue twister poem. To turn your tongue twisters into poems, all you have to do is write several lines of tongue twisters, with rhyming words at the ends of the lines, and hopefully tell a little story. Betty Botter is a classic example, as is the famous poem, Ned Nott and Sam Shott.

Here’s an example of a tongue twister poem I wrote using all of the above techniques.

My Sister Sifted Thistles

My sister sifted thistles by the fistful.
My sister sifted thistles by the shore.
My sister whistled wistfully
while sifting thistles fistfully
until her fists were bristly and sore.

My sister sifted thistles by the fistful.
My sister sifted thistles by the shore.
Her thistle-sifting history
made sister’s fists all blistery,
so now she sifts no thistles anymore.

How to Make Your Own Tongue Twisters

Twitch, twiddle, and twirl talented tangled tongues!

While it’s not a common thing to include in writing, adding a tongue twister can be a great way to make your passage stand out from others. Plus, it’s fun to do!

They’re also not the easiest literary device to use or create from.

Then again, knowing writers as I do probably means they’d want to include more of them if it’s challenging, not less!

There are also a thousand ways under the sun to come up with a fun tongue twister to use in your writing. But like many things in life, the more you practice them, the better you get.

So, here’s one method I use whenever I want to twist a few tongues and frustrate readers. As it’s easier to focus on alliteration in my opinion, that’s the focus of this method.

Let’s jump in!

Note: You can stop this process at any point after #3 and count it as a tongue twister! They don’t have to inherently be long, many tongue twisters can be just one, two, or three words that then get repeated over and over to produce the twist.

How to create a tongue twister in 7 easy steps

Step #1. Grab your tools

This exercise is probably easiest to do if you have access to a computer with internet. You can also do it on your phone but the experience might be a bit clunkier, as this method involves flipping between websites a bunch.

Open up a thesaurus and a rhyme tool tab on your browser. For instance, I often use Power Thesaurus and Rhyme Zone for quirky exercises like this. Also, for getting ideas for words to include that start with your preferred letter, I use a website called The Free Dictionary.

This last tool is probably all you need, depending on how complex you want to make your tongue twister.

Step #2. Start with a noun

Perhaps you have a specific idea in mind for your tongue twister. If that’s the case, great! Start with the noun of your idea and go from there.

If you don’t, then I like to think of a one-letter or two-letter consonant blend like in this list.

For example, I’m going to use the name Greg, since it’s a common name and “gr” is a fun two-letter consonant with many examples of words.

Step #3. Add an adjective

We’re going to take your first noun, then add an adjective to it that uses alliteration (the same sounding beginning letters).

Examples:

• Green Greg
• Groggy Greg
• Greedy Greg

Step #4. Add a verb

Now it’s time to add a verb after the described noun. What is it that your noun is doing? Let’s have some fun and make sure it follows the same flow and style!

Examples:

• Green Greg grifts
• Groggy Greg gripes
• Greedy Greg grabs

Step #5. Add an adverb

At this point, we can add an adverb to describe the verb we just placed in the tongue twister.

Examples:

• Green Greg greedily grifts
• Groggy Greg graciously gripes
• Greedy Greg gracefully grabs

Step #6. Add another noun

This is all leading into the what of the tongue twister, which comes before the why and conclusion. At this point, we need to answer what Greg is doing, before answering why and finishing it off.

Examples:

• Green Greg greedily grifts a grail of green grapes
• Groggy Greg graciously gripes at the groovy groom
• Greedy Greg gracefully grabs the grocery gristle

Step #7. Add a reason

Finally, we could try to add a why to the tongue twister and answer it, all within the same structure and style! This is starting to get more advanced by this point, which usually means more time searching for the perfect words to include, so feel free to stop already!

So, why is Greg doing what he’s doing? Let’s try to answer with a combination of adjectives, adverbs, nouns and verbs and see what we come up with.

Examples:

• Green Greg greedily grifts a grail of green grapes to greet his grandkids.
• Groggy Greg graciously gripes at the groovy groom to grease his grumpiness.
• Greedy Greg gracefully grabs the grocery gristle to grip his gratin.

Takeaway

That’s it! Hopefully, you were able to create an alliterative tongue twister to use in your own writing. And if you had too much trouble with it, don’t worry, practice does make perfect with these types of things.

I’d love to hear your own tongue twisters in the comments or any questions you might have if you tried out my method too. Thanks for reading!
