How it maps to the curriculum
Strand: Léitheoireacht
Content objective: Ba chóir go ligfeadh acmhainn seo do pháiste:
- éirí ina léitheoir níos neamhspleáiche
- leanúint d’earráidí léitheoireachta a fhéincheartú
- focail neamhchoitianta a aithint trí thagairt do chodanna focail, réimíreanna agus iarmhíreanna
Suggestions for use: Divide the class into small groups, distributing a different tongue twister to each group. Allow children time to read it together in their groups and then in front of the class. Distribute a different tongue twister to each group and do same if time permits. Extend the activity by allowing children to create their own tongue twister.

Suggestions for use: Present the tongue twister examples on the IWB as a fun stimulus to an activity that requires children to formulate more complex examples and later challenging their peers to read them with precision.
