This month’s adventure is all about tongue twisters!
It’s International Tongue Twister day today, 10th November, so that’s the theme of our adventure this month.
This month you will be shown images which you have to guess are famous tongue twisters. There’s also our usual Quiz and the answers will be found in the following article ‘History of International Tongue Twister Day’ below. And it wouldn’t be the same without our world famous picture caption competition! So you’ll need to think up a funny caption for that! See you there pals!
History of International Tongue Twister Day
Speaking of that old dastardly pickled pepper picker, it turns out that dear old Peter Piper was actually a real person, someone from our histories who was renowned for his taste in delicious spices and became immortalized as a result.
He was quite the character when you all things were taken in, he was French and dastardly, so that paints an image right there. He’s also one-armed, and a horticulturist, which must make planting tricky from time to time. To wrap it all up?
His favourite way of getting seeds for planting his spices was at the tip of a sword and the roar of a cannonball. Yep, you got it, he was also a pirate. When he got his hands on some nutmeg he got his rhyme “Peter Piper Picked a Peck of Pickled Peppers”
So which tongue twister is the most difficult? In the English language, the Guinness Book of World Records professes that to be “The sixth sick sheik’s sixth sheep’s sick.” Trust us, one try at that and you’ll be having your tongue tied up in knots for a week, or at the very least sound like a snake with a lisp. We know, it’s pretty awful.
