a beautiful beach.

Five fathers and their friends are fishing for their favourite fish in

Follow-up
• Choose other letters of the alphabet and ask pairs to create new tongue
twisters. Each time, write the verb and the geographical place. Each team
has a turn to add a new word to make a sentence. See Box 74.
• Display the tongue twisters in the classroom and regularly ask the children
to say them aloud. Alternatively, you could create a class book of tongue
twisters.
