International Tongue Twister Day is celebrated every year on the second Sunday of November. This year, it will be celebrated on November 10. The day was created to honor tongue twisters, words, or phrases that are difficult to pronounce correctly. These can be used as a fun spoken word game. The challenge arises because similar sounds are repeated at the beginning of each word, making them harder to pronounce, especially after repeating them multiple times.
“How much wood would a woodchuck chuck, If a woodchuck could chuck wood? He would chuck, he would, as much as he could, And chuck as much wood as a woodchuck would, If a woodchuck could chuck wood.“
