I did a tongue twister lesson.
1. I gave them the handout and reviewed tongue twisters on a ppt (see attached)
2. I put them in groups of 4-5 and play "Baskin Robbins 31" with Peter Piper and the Woodchuck one. Basically, each person can say 1, 2 or 3 words from the tongue twisters at a time and whoever ends up saying the last one loses and is eliminated. They played until each group has one winner. Winners can to the front of the classroom for the finals. The group of the winner of the finals got a prize.
3. See which group can read all of the short tongue twisters the fastest. I gave the students 5 minutes to practice. There were seven short tongues twisters and each group member had to read at least one, but all of the tongue twisters needed to be read (so some students read two). I timed each group to see who could do it the fastest. They got really into it.
Pass the bomb speed reading games are good too and same with memory games (they get 20 seconds to look at a picture and then ask a question about the picture).
