Twisting Tongues on Terribly Boring Day

For the most part this week, I have not taught any classes. After a week long vacation, i'm feeling a bit rusty, and this is making it even worse. Preparations for field day are taking precedent over classes all week, preparations which include; synchronized "She's All That" type dancing, and eerie military like marching on the field. That said, I've spent all my free time on Monday with no class, planning for the whole week, all lesson which I now have not taught and are just going to be rolled over into next week. Oh the joys of being a teacher in Korea.

That said I decided to fine tune one of my lessons for the week, by throwing in some non-sensical tongue twisters to help kids practice their phonics.  I think you can tell by their escalation in weirdness that I'm getting a little bit delirious today. This week it's letters A-E, so ultimately I should have a whole alphabets worth of these to weird kids out with. I really want to do some illustrations for some of them as well.

A

Aardvarks always assume accurately

The apple aggressively ate another apples arm

Adventures alone aren't always all that awesome

The ape arranged an absurdly awesome outfit


B
Bicycles bound bouncily along the big black bricks
I bought brown bananas at a big blue barn
The baboon bakes big beautiful buns
The blue balloon is bigger than the brown bunny

C

The cat called the cranky crow a cruel name

I went camping in a canyon with a cool cat named Carl

The cold cookie and the crayon couldn’t clear customs

The caterpillar creeps calmly along side the crusty clown

D

The donkey dodged the dastardly dragon

The dog ducked to avoid the ducks drooping drapes

Ducks don’t dance on the day after a death

Dirt drenched dolphins don’t do drinks on days that contain the letter “d”

E 

Eager elephants eat evil elves

Everyday eggs are eaten an eel escapes from E-mart

Eagles have enormous, elegant, earthy ears

Every time emus run errands, Elmo escorts them
