Here is my example: "She sells seashells by the seashore." Pam observed in amazement, as she walked up to her best friend, Silly Sally, at the beach. Sally was standing behind a three-foot-tall sand wall, which she craftily pounded together. On it, was a big, poster board sign which said, 'Sally's Sand and Sea Shells Souvenirs. Only $1 each' "Sally, what ARE you doing?" Pam waved her hand past the bow-tied, cellophane-wrapped little packages on the sand stand. "No one is going to buy packages of sand or sea shells here! This beach is covered with plenty of that." Pam hardly finished her sentence when a woman wearing a big touristy-looking beach hat hurried up to them. "Oh, this is so fantastic! My family and I will be driving back home today, and I had no time to pick up any souvenirs." The lady smiled as she beheld the beauty of the pretty little packages. "I'll take two sand and two shells." She paused and bit her lip. "You know what? I'll take all ten that you have here." Pam's eyes widened as she watched the lady shove them in her oversized beach bag and handed Sally $10. After the lady walked away, Sally looked at Pam, "So, grab a pail and fill it with shells so we can make up more packages. Later, we can get tacos at the food truck with the money we made." Now it's your turn. Here are some examples of tongue twisters. Try any of these, or use one of your own." She sells seashells by the seashore. I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. Betty Botter bought some butter, but she said the butter’s bitter You know New York, you need New York, you know you need unique New York. If a dog chews shoes, whose shoes does he choose? A big black bear sat on a big black rug Nine nice night nurses nursing nicely. Rolling red wagons. Pre-shrunk silk shirts. A happy hippo hopped and hiccupped. |
