Title - Tongue Twisters
By - Ryla Pollan
Primary Subject - Language Arts
Grade Level - 3-8
Students not only have fun with this creative writing activity, but they also review several parts of speech!
MATERIALS:
METHOD:
1. Start with sharing some well-known tongue twisters with your students. They get really involved as they try to repeat them and share others. Next, challenge your students to write their own tongue twisters. I use this model to get them started:
* Nouns - use at least one (Betty)
* Verbs - use at least one (bought)
* Adjectives - use several (brainy, billion, big, Buicks, black)
* Adverbs - use at least one (busily)
* Prepositional Phrases - use at least one (by the bay)
2. Using this model, we now have a tongue twister: Brainy Betty busily bought a billion, big, black Buicks by the bay.
3. Have students write several. Let them go through the peer editing process. Then print final copies to display on a bulletin board or put them together for a class book.
