These alliteration/tongue twister prompt cards have been designed to encourage your children to have fun exploring and experimenting with initial sounds. Children with your help can be guided to find the initial sound on the object card, for example sounding out ‘b’ as the initial sound in ‘ball’. Can you all think of some descriptive words which start with the sound ‘b’… e.g. ‘bouncing’? Practise saying the phrase you have created, i.e. ‘bouncing ball’. Older children may like to make a string of several words and/or say phrases with increasing speed. Children will enjoy how silly it sounds (and feels) when they try to repeat phrases more and more quickly. 8 cards to this pack.

Instructions in pack:

(Cards to be folded first and ideally laminated.)

Picture side to show to children. Encourage them to say what they see and then think of a word to describe the picture.

Encourage alliteration using the same initial sound.

Ideas are on the reverse side for an adult to add to the discussion.

When one or two words have been chosen, say the words together and then ask the children to repeat back.

e.g. big bright ball

Try saying the words slowly and quickly.
