We used these in speech when I was in high school.

Black bug's blood.

Crisp crusts crackle and crunch.

A flea and a fly flew up in a flue.
Said the flea, "Let us fly!"
Said the fly, "Let us flee!"
So they flew through a flap in the flue.

Freshly-fried fat flying fish

Rubber baby-buggy bumpers.

Jolly juggling jesters jauntily juggled jingling jacks.

Kindly kittens knitting mittens keep kazooing in the king's kitchen.

Leaping lizards like to lick lovely lemon lollipops for lunch.

She sells sea shells by the seashore.

Shy Shelly says she shall sew sheets shortly.

Six sick slick slim sycamore saplings.

Six slippery snails, slid slowly seaward.

Six thick thistle sticks. Six thick thistles stick.

The sixth sick sheik's sixth sheep's sick.

A skunk sat on a stump and thunk the stump stunk,
but the stump thunk the skunk stunk.

Soldier's shoulders.

Swan swam over the sea,
Swim, swan, swim!
Swan swam back again
Well swum, swan!

A Tudor who tooted a flute
tried to tutor two tooters to toot.
Said the two to their tutor,
"Is it harder to toot
or to tutor two tooters to toot?"

We surely shall see the sun shine shortly.

What type of noise annoys an oyster?
A noisy noise annoys an oyster.

Whether the weather be fine,
Or whether the weather be not,
Whether the weather be cold
Or whether the weather be hot,
We'll weather the weather
Whatever the weather,
Whether we like it or not.

Which witch is which?

Which witch wished which wicked wish?

Betty Botter bought some butter,
But, she said, the butter's bitter.
If I put it in my batter,
It will make my batter bitter.
But a bit of better butter
Is sure to make my batter better.
So she bought a bit of butter
Better than her bitter butter,
And she put it in her batter
And the batter was not bitter.
So 'twas better Betty Botter
Bought a bit of better butter.


How much wood
would a woodchuck chuck,
if a woodchuck
could chuck wood?
As much wood
As a woodchuck would,
if a woodchuck
could chuck wood.

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,
How many pickled peppers did Peter Piper pick?
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,
Where are the pickled peppers Peter Piper picked/

She sells seashells,
By the seashore.
The shells she sells,
Are surely seashells.
So if she sells shells,
On the seashore,
I'm sure she sells,
Seashore shells.

Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair,
Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn't very fuzzy, was he?
