Animal Alliteration (Create some animal themed tongue twisters)
Alliteration happens when words that start with the same sound (not just the same letter) are used repeatedly in a phrase or sentence. The sound is usually a consonant and the words don't have to be right next to one another. One of the fun features of alliteration is when it becomes a tongue twister. In a story, a piece of alliteration really captures the readers attention because they will have to concentrate really hard to say the words correctly.
Activity
How many different animal alliterations sentences can you create? Can you write one for every letter in the alpherbet? What is the longest animal alliteration sentence you can write?
Challenge
Record yourself saying the longest alliteration sentence perfectly (it is not as easy as it seems!) Remember to pronounce everyword correctly.
