Have fun learning about alliteration, assonance and consonance with these silly tongue twisters. Drama circles are similar to readers' theatre activities where students read small sections of text. They encourage listening and reading fluently. Best of all, they require only moments to prepare, but students are engaged and learning for an hour or more.
This engaging activity includes:
tongue twisters that will make your students laugh, mess up and learn some new variations of popular phrases. Since these cards include a variety of tongue twisters your students are guaranteed a mouthful of learning.
opportunities to learn about alliteration, assonance or consonance as part of a poetry lesson or unit (though this resource can stand on its own).
directions on how to run a drama circle.
a teacher quick guide.
a set of 40 cards (in colour and ink-saving versions).
a set of discussion questions to do after the drama activity.
a variety of reading difficulties and amounts of text on the cards so you can differentiate easily for your students.
a few blank cards if you need to change the language on a card.
Canadian/British spellings. No American spellings are included.
This activity supports:
any lesson about tongue twisters.
learning to read with fluency and expression
National Tongue Twister Day is held on the second Sunday of Novermber
Ninja Note: This resource requires downloading the PDF, printing the cards, and cutting them apart before beginning the activity.
