Drooling and Dangerous: The Riot Brothers Return

Try a tongue twister

Orville invents this new tongue twister: “I like Lulubelle Lippi’s Lollipop Lipstick.” Try to say it ten times.

Now, make up your own new tongue twister. Hint: Use alliteration to make your tongue twister tricky. What is alliteration, you ask? Good question. Ask a terrific teacher.

Try a switch twister

Wilbur and Orville switch letters around in the phrases that they say on Dwitch Say (Switch Day). Dirty socks become sirty docks, etc Try making up a tongue twister that has a few switches in it, such as: Put your sirty docks in the carbage gan!

Write now!
