Dear readers, now I suggest you remember funny tongue twisters for children. Each of us probably remembers how cheerful and funny they are, although sometimes it’s not at all easy to pronounce them. Did you know that tongue twisters are not only good for fun, but also useful? They help develop a child’s speech, teach him to pronounce previously inaccessible sounds, and improve diction.
Why don't we offer it to children? funny tongue twisters? Today on the blog we will introduce you to interesting and memorable tongue twisters for children and bring to your attention a selection of children's poems for practicing with your child at home.
I give the floor to Anna Kutyavina, the moderator of the column, and then I will expand on the topic of the article.
Hello, dear readers of Irina’s blog! Do your children love tongue twisters? I’m sure that if they don’t like them, it’s for only one reason – they’re just not familiar with them! Or they are still too small to pronounce such constructions. For other children, tongue twisters are a pleasant and very fun pastime, especially in combination with active play.
Are tongue twisters fun? Not only!
What is so special about tongue twisters? First, as expected, let’s turn to the dictionary. So, tongue twisters are a simple, rhythmic, often humorous text, which is a certain combination of sounds that makes it difficult to quickly pronounce words.
Most tongue twisters are a product folk art, and they are passed down from generation to generation as a way to develop children's speech. And this is actually a very useful game, because with the help of tongue twisters you can effectively correct a child’s diction, as well as eliminate certain speech defects.
Most often, children are delighted with funny tongue twisters. The parents’ task is to memorize several of them and use them as often as possible in play with their child. Tongue twisters can be spoken at different speeds: slowly, at medium speed, quickly and very quickly. But be sure to ensure that the child does not swallow the syllables and pronounces the sounds clearly and clearly. Only in this case will the baby’s speech develop correctly, and the tongue twisters themselves will be beneficial.
You can also play the following games with your children:
- ask your child to rhythmically hit the ball off the floor or wall while reciting the rhyme;
- try playing together with your child, taking turns pronouncing lines from a tongue twister;
- set the rhythm of the tongue twister by clapping your hands;
- Hold a competition to see who can say the tongue twister the fastest and not get lost.
And now we present to your attention a selection of tongue twisters for children of different ages.

Many of these tongue twisters are used by speech therapists in their practice. There are separate tongue twisters for producing a specific sound. So, you can choose poems for virtually any sound that your child needs to master. Let's look at examples.

This is how easy and fun it is to teach your child to speak correctly. But you shouldn’t force your son or daughter to cram tongue twister poems! It is unlikely that you will get the result you want under pressure.
It's another thing if you turn learning into a fun game. Together with your child, you can compose a fairy tale about some sound, look for them in tongue twisters, build houses for them in the sand, and come up with songs. And repeat the tongue twisters along the way.
There can be a lot of ideas, the main thing is to start, use your imagination and act! Try it and your child will be very pleasantly surprised. And you yourself too, believe me.

I thank Anya for the material. I would like to add a few words on my own behalf. Working at the Theater Institute, we often encounter big problems in students’ speech. They also learn tongue twisters. It can be very difficult for both us and students to catch up and correct what we could have paid attention to in childhood. But correct, pleasant speech is what we always pay attention to when communicating with people.
Have fun, interesting and useful activities with your children! And teach yourself tongue twisters. I’m sure that you and I won’t be able to get everything out quickly...
Horseradish as a source of health
Purpose of the lesson: we study the letter E, the formation of reading skills, the development of speech skills, the improvement of phonemic awareness, the basics of elementary graphic skills.
- introduce a preschooler to the letter E, correct pronunciation sound;
- teach writing block letter E by cells;
- to generate interest in learning poems and riddles.
Name what is shown in the pictures below:
Food Spruce, fir cones Blackberry Raccoon
- Eva is a girl's name. Say the word EVE, clap your hands and count the syllables.
- How many syllables are in the word EVA? What is the first syllable in this word?
- Repeat: EAT. Say the word EAT, clap your hands and count the syllables.
- How many syllables are in the word ELI? What is the first syllable in this word?
The letter E is a vowel letter. Remember this please.
Examine the letter E. Sew the letter E in the air and once in the notebook, carefully in the cells with a simple pencil or ballpoint pen.
In cases where the child is asked to write a whole line of a letter, syllable or word, the adult gives a writing sample at the beginning of the line.
If a preschooler has difficulties, then an adult can draw two approximate lines, or put reference points that the child will connect with lines, or write the entire letters, and the child will simply circle them in a different color. Calligraphy should not be required at this stage of training.

Tale about the letter E
Laundry "Egor and Sons"
On the bank of a forest river, under the sign “Laundry - Egor and Sons.” Every day, early in the morning, a family of raccoons sat down and the noisy washing began. But somehow dad Yegor came up with the idea to name his sons with ancient names that he read in his grandfather’s book. The first son was renamed Elistratus, the second - Epiphanius, and the youngest from Petka turned into Evlampius. And the laundry got up. In the morning, dad Egor began to remember whose name was:
This...what's his name? What did I call you? - he asks the elder.
- On E somehow... Elyuley, or what?
- No, not Elyuley. And where did that name go? I put a cross here.
By evening he can barely find his cross in the book, but there’s no time to wash it! Animals walk around in unwashed clothes, and some even without clothes at all. But one day, while Yegor’s dad wasn’t around, the neighbor’s hedgehog sarcastically asked the younger raccoon:
Petka or whatever your name is?.. Evpatorii! Is it hard to wash my dad's book?
- Yes?! Nonsense!
And fearing to disgrace himself, Petka washed out the book so diligently that he washed away all the letters. Dad Yegor had to name his sons as before, and the laundry started working.

Tongue twisters appeared a long time ago. They exist among many nations. Of course, tongue twisters were not invented for speech development or learning. Initially, their function was purely entertainment. During holidays or folk festivals, people simply gathered together and tried to quickly pronounce complex phrases with repeated sounds. It sounded funny. Everyone had fun.
However, over time, the main purpose of tongue twisters has changed. Now the developmental function of tongue twisters is of primary importance. Although the entertainment factor remains. After all, working with this version of folk art is fun and interesting for children.
What is a tongue twister? Most often, it is a small poem or phrase with a large number of difficult to pronounce words or combinations of sounds that need to be pronounced not only correctly, but also quickly. It is thanks to this that speech development occurs. The child learns to master his language, getting used to quickly and clearly pronounce even complex combinations of sounds.
What is the difference between children's tongue twisters and other speech development exercises?
Initially, there was no difference between tongue twisters and pure twisters. However, modern speech therapists have begun to clearly distinguish between these two concepts. Clean tongues are used mainly to practice correct diction. They don't have to be said quickly. The main thing is to pronounce all sounds correctly and clearly.
Tongue twisters are conventionally divided into adult and children's. The differences between them are quite minor. For a child, it is important that the phrase has a certain meaning and is fun. Otherwise, he will simply refuse to repeat it, because he will not understand what this “rhyme” is about or he will be frankly bored.
The benefits of tongue twisters
The main benefit of tongue twisters is that they contribute to the development of the speech apparatus. As a result, the little man begins to speak more clearly, expressively and clearly. However, this is not the only advantage of such exercises.
Paradoxical as it may seem, tongue twisters teach children to speak more slowly, pronouncing the endings of words. Indeed, in most cases, the child needs not only to quickly repeat the phrase, but also to clearly pronounce all the syllables, otherwise the result will be nonsense. Thanks to this, children learn not to “eat” the endings of words.
Tongue twisters are good for developing memory. After all, kids have to learn them. Moreover, when pronouncing a tongue twister, the child comprehends what has been said, and also compares various phrases with each other. And this is also a very good skill.
In addition, in the process of learning tongue twisters, the child gets used to listening to other people. After all, it is very difficult to understand a tongue twister if you do not concentrate on what is being said. This skill will be very useful for future schoolchildren to be collected, listen and understand the teacher.
And finally, playing with tongue twisters is just fun. It’s very funny to hear your own and other people’s mistakes in difficult to pronounce, but quite simple in meaning phrases. Such pastime in the parent + child format will be very useful for future relationships.
And finally, you can play with tongue twisters anywhere: at home, on the way to kindergarten, and even on a long trip. Such entertainment would be appropriate at any children's party. Preschoolers, and even schoolchildren, are happy to get involved in such fun.
How to work with tongue twisters correctly
Nowadays speech therapists actively use tongue twisters in their work. But this does not mean that parents cannot work with their child on their own. And it is not at all necessary that the child have speech problems. In any case, additional training of the speech apparatus will not be superfluous.
When can you start learning tongue twisters? Yes, at almost any age. As soon as the child has learned to speak more or less, these short and funny poems can already be read to him. First, all words must be pronounced very clearly and slowly so that the child understands how to pronounce words correctly. Gradually, the baby will get involved in the process and begin to repeat tongue twisters after mom or dad, and then he will tell them without much difficulty, and from memory.
By the way, you shouldn’t force the little man to repeat tongue twisters. He will start doing this himself as soon as he understands the essence of the game. At the same time, the task of parents is to create a fun atmosphere. Then the baby will get involved in the process faster. And to make it even more interesting for the child, you can ask him to clap after pronouncing each syllable or “tap” the syllables with a ball.
But that's all general rules. If we move from words to practice, then working with tongue twisters can be divided into several separate stages:
- Learn a tongue twister . To do this, it must be pronounced slowly, clearly pronouncing both vowels and consonants. It is important that the child not only remember all the words of the rhyme or phrase, but also learn to repeat them absolutely correctly.
- Correct articulation . After completing the memorization process, you can move on to the next - voiceless stage. To do this, you also need to slowly and clearly repeat the tongue twister, but silently. In this case, the articulatory apparatus (tongue, lips and teeth) must work. The goal of this exercise is to achieve correct articulation.
- Whispering . This stage also does not require fast pronunciation. In this case, you need to pronounce the tongue twister in a whisper. At the same time, the parents’ task is to make sure that the child is whispering and not “hissing.” All words must be pronounced clearly and legibly.
- Slow repetition . Now you can start repeating the tongue twister from memory in full voice. However, you should not rush your child. Let him first learn to pronounce a given phrase slowly but efficiently.
- Intonation changes . This is one of the most fun stages. The child should be asked to pronounce the tongue twister with different intonations, for example: in interrogative or exclamatory forms, cheerfully or sadly, thoughtfully or aggressively, singing or in different voices. Children love this game. By the way, at this stage the speed of pronunciation is also not important. The main thing is to teach your child to use his voice.
- Directly tongue twister . And only now can you start speaking quickly. Here you can come up with a lot of tasks, for example: who can pronounce a tongue twister faster without mistakes or repeat a phrase without hesitation three or four times in a row, etc.
Working on individual sounds
There are different tongue twisters, but they all have one goal - to practice a specific sound. Of course, if a child needs to work on diction, then you can work with any works of this type of folk art.
However, when identifying problems in the pronunciation of a particular sound, emphasis should be placed on it. By the way, tongue twisters can also be useful when working with pronunciation when studying foreign language. Fortunately, such speech games are still “in use” not only among the Russian people.
Tongue twisters for the development of speech of children from 4 to 12 years old
For children 4-5 years old
At this age, most children experience problems with the pronunciation of the sounds [r], [l] and [l’], as well as with hissing sounds [w] and [s]. Therefore, the most suitable tongue twisters for this age are:

Yak got married to Tsypa, Yak-Tsidrak to Tsypa-Drip,
Yak-Tsidrak-Tsidron-Tsidroni on Tsypa-Dripa-Lampomponi.
So they had children: Yak and Tsypa had Shah,
Yak-Tsidrak with Tsypa-Drypa has Shah-Sharah,
At Yak-Tsidrak-Tsidroni with Tsypo-Drypa-Lampoponi - Shah-Sharah-Sharoni.
