We will try to get through the whole alphabet, from A-Z! When we are done I will post all of the tongue twisters for MyEC members to try. (We may have to work together to make them grammatically correct. They don't necessarily have to make sense, though.)How to Play:1) I will write 5 words starting with the letter "A".2) The first player to arrive will write a tongue twister using those five words.3) After writing the tongue twister the first player will write five "B" words for the second player. The second player will write the B tongue twister AND leave 5 "C" words for the third player...4) Try all of the tongue twisters that came before yours. Read them out loud quickly!Note for advanced learners: When writing the letter list try to use words other learners may not know. Use at least one noun, one verb, and one adjective.------------------------------------------------ExampleGamer:A: awesome, advantage, accused, alert, aardvarkPlayer 2:"The awesome aardvark tried to stay alert after he was accused of taking advantage of innocent animals.B: bask, basket, beast, brave, blaze------------------------------------------------Let's begin!
