Do you have any good tongue twisters?

Let's twist some tongues! Here are a few:

Classic Tongue Twisters:

* She sells seashells by the seashore. The shells she sells are seashells, I'm sure. So if she sells seashells on the seashore, then I'm sure she sells seashore shells. (This one is a classic for a reason!)

* Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked. If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, where's the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked? (Lots of "p" sounds to trip you up!)

* Betty Botter bought some butter, but the butter Betty Botter bought was bitter. So Betty Botter bought some better butter, to make the bitter butter better. (This one is tricky with the "b" and "t" sounds.)

Fun and Challenging Tongue Twisters:

* Two tiny tigers take two taxis to town. (Short and sweet, but tricky with the "t" sound.)

* Red leather, yellow leather. (Simple, but a great challenge for speed.)

* The thirty-three thieves thought that they thrilled the throne throughout Thursday. (This one tests your tongue's ability to navigate tricky consonant clusters.)

Let me know if you want more! I have plenty more tongue twisters up my sleeve. 😉
