What have we updated:- We have made the introduction more comprehensive, and concluded the article in a better way.

We had so much fun putting our riddles for kids post together. I am always pulling the riddles out randomly to challenge the kids. They love it!  But our latest fascination is tongue twisters for kids.

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.

Once your kids learn some tongue twisters you will see them excited to go to school or visit a relative and show off their ability to do tongue twisters.

Be sure to check out how to turn tongue twisters into a fun family game at the bottom of this post!

Tongue twisters aren’t only great and fun to say. They also are a great way to help kids with diction.

People have been making tongue twisters for ages and mainly do it for amusement but many people use them for articulation exercises such as radio hosts and politicians to help with their professional speaking! 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.

Think your family would like a little tongue curling challenge? Ready to make your children laugh? You will find that your children will find the funniest part of tongue twisters are the silly mistakes they make while trying to master these tongue twisters.

You kept trying to get the sentences right and say them as quickly as possible. It was a fun and challenging game that everyone wanted to win.

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.

Why tongue twisters, you might ask? Well, it’s because they’re fun and can be played by people of all age groups.

“Now that you and your kids …”

You could also try your hand at making your own tongue twisters for kids. Do you have a favorite tongue twister that’s not on this list? Share it in the comments!

tongue twisters in English.

Your pronunciation "helpers"

Tongue twisters are pronunciation "helpers" that hone every sound and help you pronounce words clearly and easily. Among people whose activities are directly related to performances, almost everyone uses their own set of favorite tongue twisters.

Even in one's native language, this is not the easiest thing to do.

But tongue twisters must be used exactly in the language whose sounds you want to work out.

If we talk about tongue twisters, we can remember one of the most popular English that sounds

  • Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers
  • A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked.
  • If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,
  • Where's the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?

There are many inexplicable words, but if you practice and understand the essence, it will turn out pretty well.

  1. Read several times;
  2. Attempt to pronounce slowly, paying attention to each sound;
  3. Understand what you are talking about and use the relevant information.

But remember, if you translate English tongue twisters verbatim, you may end up with an incomprehensible pun.

For example, the tongue twister about Peter Piper was translated as follows:

  • “Peter Piper collected a lot of pickled peppers.
  • Peter Piper collected many pickled peppers.
  • If Peter Piper collected a lot of pickled peppers,
  • Where is that pile of pickled peppers that Peter Piper collected?

Most of these "language testers" have rather funny translations, but they really work.

Let's look at a good selection of useful tongue twisters to improve English articulation:

  • "She sells sea shells at the sea shore, the shells she sells are the sea-shore shells, I'm sure"

The sound "s", when merged with other sounds, becomes one of the most difficult to pronounce. But after such a tongue twister, you can forget about the problems with his pronunciation.

  • The thirty-three thieves thought that they thrilled the throne throughout Thursday.

The "th" sound is one of the favorites of all beginners.

The translation would be: Thirty-three thieves thought they had seized the throne all Thursday.

  • A big black bug bit a big black bear, made the big black bear bleed blood.

A big black bug bit a big black bear, causing the big black bear to bleed.

  • Can you imagine an imaginary menagerie manager imagining managing an imaginary menagerie?

Can you imagine how the imaginary manager of the imaginary menagerie controls imaginations?

  • I wish to wash my Irish wristwatch.

I want to wash my Irish wrist watch. "sh" sound

  • Why do you cry, Willy?
  • Why do you cry?

  • Why, Willy?
  • Why, Willy? Why

  • Why are you crying, Willy?
  • Why are you crying?
