It ´s probably not a good idea to stress spoken drills too much.
It can be good for practicing pronunciation but shouldn ´t be the focus of a lesson.
Nowadays, I think most people agree that teaching English should be for meaningful communication, rather than knowing how to say perfectly "the rain in spain falls mainly on the plain"

There are lots of members who put speaking cards and board games and activities on here which are very useful!

Thanks for the link atsanti85 ... it ´s a bit funny though those sentences.
We have those in French too (Ton th� t ´a-t-il ot� ta toux? =Has your Tea stopped your cough?)
 
Good evening Wink

PS: Thanks to Bruce I noticed a typo which I fixed and added a translation to my french sentence.

Hey Babs!
I didn ´t know this one! ( Ton th� t ´a-t-il ot� ta toux ?) Dear old me only uses " Un chasseur sachant chasser doit savoir chasser sans son chien. � ( For our colleagues here to practise some French!)
Btw, Never knew the French for tongue twister!!!!LOL
