Top 10 Tongue Twisters

20

Here is collection of 10 tongue twisters to tie your tongue. These were hard enough to type much less to say. I found it amusing that the title to this post was a tongue twister: Top ten tongue twisters. Say that ten times fast, while reading these tongue twisters. If you have any favorites, please add them to the comments. 

  1. She sells seashells by the seashore.
  2. The sixth sick sheikh’s sixth sheep’s sick.
  3. Six slippery snails, slid slowly seaward.
  4. Black bug bit a big black bear.
    But where is the big black bear that the big black bug bit?
  5. A skunk sat on a stump.
    The stump thunk the skunk stunk.
    The skunk thunk the stump stunk.
  6. If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,
    How man pickled peppers would Peter Piper pick?
  7. How much wood would a woodchuck chuck
    If a woodchuck could chuck wood?
    He would chuck, he would, as much as he could,
    And chuck as much wood as a woodchuck would
    If a woodchuck could chuck wood
  8. A tutor who tooted a flute
    Tried to tutor two tooters to toot.
    Said the two to their tutor,
    “Is it harder t toot or
    To tutor two tooters to toot?
  9. I slit a sheet, a sheet I slit.
    And on a slitted sheet I sit.
    I slit a sheet, a sheet I slit.
    The sheet I slit, that sheet was it.
  10. Betty Boughter bought some butter
    But she said the butter’s bitter
    If I put it in my batter
    It will make my batter bitter
    But a bit of better butter will make it better than the bitter butter
    So she bought a bit of better butter
    And put it in her batter
    And her batter was not bitter
    So t’was Betty Boughter bought a bit if better butter and put it in her
    batter and her batter was not bitter.

    My favorite from my camp counselor days:

    I'm a mother pheasant plucker

    I pluck mother pheasants

    I'm the most pleasant mother pheasant plucker ever to pluck a mother pheasant.

    Ah, yes, how the kiddies loved to accidentally say mother f***er… good times.

  2. Sodden – I am disappointed I missed that tongue twister, although saying it around children might not be the best idea. Thanks for adding it to this list. I love that your name is as tongue twister too!

    Try this one…

    ” Lower Roller.. Upper Roller”

    You are good if you manage this ten times

  11. Mike says:

    For a short but difficult one, try:

    “Irish wristwatch”

    Even if you can manage to get it once, if you try for multiple times quickly it’s very difficult.

  12. Terry says:

    How about these two oldies?

    “Theophilous the thistle sifter
    thrust three thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb.”

    and

    “Which wristwatches are Swiss wristwatches?”
