Tongue twisters: Tree toad

 

Activity:

Tongue twisters are phrases or sentences which are hard to speak fast, usually because of alliteration or a sequence of words with very similar sounds. Tongue twisters help develop speech skills in young children as well as older children who need additional help with speech therapy.

 

To get the full effect of tongue twisters you should repeat them several times, as quickly as possible, without stumbling or mispronouncing. Good luck!

Tree toad

A tree toad loved a she-toad,
Who lived up in a tree.
He was a two-toed tree toad,
But a three-toed toad was she.

The two-toed tree toad tried to win,
The three-toed she-toad’s heart,
For the two-toed tree toad loved the ground,
That the three-toed tree toad trod.

But the two-toed tree toad tried in vain.
He couldn’t please her whim.
From her tree toad bower,
With her three-toed power,
The she-toad vetoed him.
