Students of any age and ability will enjoy these common English Tongue Twisters - and while they practice, they'll unconsciously be building fluency through pronunciation, intonation, rhyme and rhythm.

Imagine your students trying to say the following three times:

This thick thistle thrived in that thicket.OR

The Sheik's sixth sheep is sick.

There are five Tongue Twisters on each worksheet. In pairs, Student A dictates the printed Tongue Twisters while Student B writes them on the lines printed. Then they reverse roles. When finished, they will both have 10 fun Tongue Twisters.

The Teachers' Instructions include several famous and not so famous Tongue Twisters. As a bonus, it's guaranteed that students will naturally begin sharing common Tongue Twisters from their own language!
