Hello again my pedigree chums. It is me again [yeah, yeah, I should say 'I'].
But I digress: I need a little more help, folks.
I work with a brilliant primary teacher who has great success in warming up fifty indifferent little darlings five times a day with jokes and tongue twisters but he's a wily old fox and will only drip feed me one or two gems every now and then [I teach teenagers at the other end of the campus so I only see him from time to time].
So, where can I find more gigglers like the following:
What word in the English language is always spelt and pronounced incorrectly?
Answer: incorrectly.
Or,
I would like one too [spelling test].
Or,
Say correct correctly [try this one especially, it's a real head-wrecker for all grades].
And,
Betty bought some butter but the butter Betty bought was bitter so Betty bought some better butter than before.
And,
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked. If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, where's the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?
Any ideas, Web links, examples?
Regards as ever.
Newbie needs help!.
