Tongue Twisters for Kids

This Kindle ebook provides an excellent selection of tongue twisters, together with fun pictures illustrating them.

In our modern, technological world full of computers and smart phones sometimes it’s a relief to take a break from typing or texting to fall back on an old and simple idea like tongue twisters. These are just strings of words that don’t easily go together soundwise that you have to try to say as fast as you can. The results can be hilarious.

Getting a group of kids together to try to say tongue twisters can provide them with great amusement. A competitive element can be introduced to enhance the enjoyment, and sometimes a young person who is no good at sports or school work will discover a hidden talent for tongue twisters that raises his or her self-esteem.

They also have more serious uses. For those whose native language is not English, they can provide excellent practice in pronouncing consonant and vowel sounds. Children with speech difficulties can also use them for practice when alone, and they may play a part in training young singers so that lyrics are heard more clearly.

And it’s not just kids who love tongue twisters. They also make excellent ice-breakers for work gatherings or seminars, and are more sedate than most drinking games for parties.

So the next time the power goes, or you find yourself stuck in a room with a bunch of kids or adults you have to keep entertained, why not get them all to have a go at saying some tongue twisters?

While this is titled as a book for kids, I am certain most adults will find this fairly humorous, also. Trying to say some of these silly phrases is almost impossible, but you will get a kick and a big round of laughter watching someone trying some of these (and the resulting sounds that come out as you foul them up) as well as your own attempts. I think the hardest one I’ve tried so far is “fresh fried fish, fish fresh fried, fried fish fresh, fish fried fresh.”

I originally picked this up for free during a Kindle promotion vs. its normal price of $1.99: you and your family will certainly get more than $1.99 of entertainment and laughter value out of this one.

i love this book it was really fun to say them all and i would love to try more and that’s why i gave it a 5 star rating…
