How to create a tongue twister

We are going to create tongue twisters in 3 steps.

1.Play with words. Write a list words that are difficult to pronounce and a list of words with similar sounds.

2.Tell a story: link the words in a way that they make sense together.
3.Try starting with a name. 

Start with a person's name, and then come up with a sentence that tells a short story about them. Answer these questions:

• Where did this person go?
• What did this person do?
• When did this person do this thing or go to this place?
• Why did this person do this thing?

 
You can take into account:
1. Play with repetition: Put together a group of words that begin with the same consonant sound and repeat them quickly.Example: "Shelley sells seashells by the seashore."

2. Use consonance: Try to put the consonant sounds together in quick succession. Example: "Shelley sells seashells by the seashore."

3. Use assonance: repeat the same vowel sound in a sequence of words, the the words can begin with different consonant sounds. It gives a musical effectto the sentence. " Men sell the wedding bells."
