							| Tongue Twisters for pronounciation 
 |  
							| Here�s a tongue twister for practice! 
 A tutor who tooted the flute
 Taught two tooters who tooted to toot.
 Said the tutor to the tooters,
 Is it harder to toot or to tutor two tooters to toot?
 
 For fun - look up Abbott and Costellos Who�s on First?
 It�s a riot!!!
 
 Hugs and hoping you�re all fine!

							| Dear Nebel 
 Well, you do you know:
 
 How much wood would a woodchuck chuck,
 if a wood chuck could chuck wood?
 
 
 Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
 If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers -
 how many pickled peppers did Peter Piper pick?
 
 and the one everyone knows
 
 She sells sea shells, down by the sea shore.
 
 Have a good day

							| Hi Libertybell! you reminded me my days as a student! Those tongue twisters were in my phonology book!! (by Mackenzie) They were my nightmare!!haha 
 I remember another one that says sth like this:
 a fat man sat on a black cat and the black cat was squashed.
 Do you know it? I can�t find the book!! It is soooo old! haha
 
 have a good day!

							| Or they could make up their own. Just write the Q words  on the board and pick a troublesome consonant. The first one should be done with the whole class and then they can do them individually or in teams. Try to get multiple answers (e.g fish(es), firemen, frogs, etc.) for each category. 
 who? what (did they do)? how ? where? when? why?
 
 e.g. Five fat fishes fought frantically in the fountain on a fine frolic morning.
