Today, tongue twister time!

Try to read this as fast as you can:
 
She sells sea shells on the sea shore

A big black bug bit a big black bear

Whether the weather is warm, whether the weather is cold, we have to put up with the weather, whether we like it or not!

Betty Botter had some butter,
"But," she said, "this butter's bitter.
If I bake this bitter butter,
It would make my batter bitter.
But a bit of better butter,
That would make my batter better."
So she bought a bit of butter –
Better than her bitter butter –
And she baked it in her batter;
And the batter was not bitter.
So 'twas better Betty Botter
Bought a bit of better butter. 

Now, let's create our own tongue twister:

1. Write your first name
2. What did she/he do?
3. Where?
4. When?
5. Why? Because…

• On a piece of blank paper write your answer to question 1.
• Pass the paper to the person on your right. Write an answer to question 2 on the paper you have just received. Your answer must begin with the first sound in the person's name (e.g. Bob - bought a bike).
• Pass the paper on again and write an answer to question 3, again using the sound at the beginning of the name.
• Continue until all the questions have been answered.
• Pass the paper back to the person who started with it. Read all of the tongue twisters aloud.

  Here you have some examples:

• Bob bought a bike in Bali on his birthday because he was bored
• Susan sang a song at the seaside on the 6th of September because she saw some sunshine
• Laura laughed in the laundrette at lunchtime because she lost her laundry
