Alliterations
*Examples of Alliteration
Alliteration is the use of the same consonant sounds in words that are near each other. It is the sound, not the letter, that is important: therefore ‘candy’ and ‘Cindy’ do not alliterate, but ‘cool’ and ‘kids’ do.
A tongue twister is defined as a phrase or sentence that is hard to speak fast, usually because of alliteration or a sequence of nearly similar sounds.
*Alliteration Activities
Here are some alliteration activities you can do at home with your child. Please do one or more activity and write the activity you did on the cover of the homeschool packet along with your signatire. Please also include any writing or drawing you did with the activity:
1. Play silly word games, such as saying everyone's name with the letter L ( Laddy, Lommy, Lister, Lother,
Landmother, etc.).Use your child's name to make up an alliteration. For example:
Brett bought bottles. Hillary hired hippos.
2. Tongue twisters can also be used to illustrate and practice alliteration. One example can be: Bertha blew big, blue bubbles. Greta Gruber grabbed a group of grapes. You may start with simple ones. Then add repetitions or length to make them more challenging.
3. Sorting objects from around the house into a bag or basket
according to initial sound.
4. Make up a picture book to illustrate alliteration and early numeracy. For example, 1 Wiggly Worm, 2 Terrible Tigers, etc.
5. Finish Short Sentences with alliterative words. Ask your child to come up with words that have the same starting sound. For example funny (fish, farmer) or Zany (zoo, zebra).
6. You and your child can come up with descriptors that have the same starting sound as the foods you are eating. For example, tasty tomatoes, leafy lettuce, sassy strawberries, etc.
7. Alphabet Tongue Twisters
A very funny activity you can do with your child using one line tongue twisters is to create Alphabet Tongue Twisters. Alliteration examples of alphabet tongue twisters are: the famous “S” tongue twister, She sells sea shells by the
seashore, the “P” tongue twister, Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
Here are some examples of one line alphabet alliteration tongue twisters:
A: An ape ate Ace’s acorn.
B: Baby Bobby bed
bounced better by bedtime
before Billy bounced.
C: Cory collected cola
cans counting continuously.
