Tongue Twisters

"How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?"

Remember those?

My kids are into playing games at the dinner table. We have evolved from the "Number Guessing" game to more elaborate thinking games.

Our current one we call the "Place Game." The first person names a place (county, state, city, etc.) Then the second person has to name a place that begins with the last letter of the first persons place. The third person names a place that starts with the last letter of the second persons place and so on.

Example:

1st Person: New York
2nd Person: Kansas
3rd Person: South America
4th Person: Afria...

There are a lot of places that start and end with the letter A! It is fun finding or thinking of A-places that end in another letter.

My kids love it! Slim will get out his globe and try to look for new places and the Montessori education is really showing on Peaches when we play.

Last night, for reasons still unknown, last night they decided to play a rhyming game. Well, that eventually morphed into doing tongue twisters, which eventually lead to creating our own twisters.

Here are the best ones:

How much alligators could Allen avenge if Allen could avenge alligators?

How much garbage could Gavin grab if Gavin could grab garbage?

How much lunch could Levi launder if Levi could launder lunch?

How much candy could Claire carry if Claire could carry candy?

How much nickles could Nicole nibble if Nicole could nibble nickles?

How much junk could Josh jump over if Josh could jump over junk?

How much could a goat float if a goat could float on a boat?

How much orchids could an octopus open if an octopus could open orchids?
