A friend suggested to me that an old-fashioned pastime called "Tongue Twisters" might be of interest to carers who are looking for a short time activity which would be suited to people of all ages and interests.
Here are 3 "Tongue Twisters" that my friend gave me to try:
Try saying each of these phrases at least 3 times as fast as possible. It won't take long before your tongue becomes twisted, and you'll be surprised how much it can make people laugh.
If you like the idea, please let me know, and my friend Joy will be more than happy to come up with a few more Tongue Twisters.
I have them brainstorm alliteration words- using their first name, then we add in rhyming words, then I pick and choose which words I want to make a fun tongue twister/ story.... I don't remember all of them anymore but something like:
'Mean momma Margaret had a mountain of money. She paid her mean minion monkeys to monitor her mountain'
Mary, Mary Quite Contary couldn't decide who to marry. should she marry Harry, Barry or Larry? She couldn't marry Larry, he was too hairy. she couldn't marry Barry. He was too full of hot air-y. I guess she'll have to marry Harry."
Thanks for sharing this
