Tongue Twisters

This week we wrote tongue twisters. We started by reviewing blends, then I gave the kids a sheet to work with to write six tongue twisters. I chose six blends and made word banks that included words that started with each blend. This activity always ends up being harder than the kids expect. I reminded them that the key to a tongue twister is to make sure most of your words start with the same blend. When they use a lot of "filler words" that do not start with the same blend, it isn't a tongue twister anymore. I then had them choose their favorite tongue twister, rewrite it and draw a picture to go along with it.

Here are four students that I thought did a great job on their tongue twister and picture.
