SUMMARY:Saturday Series: Tongue Twister Tournament (ages 6–12)
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]What’s a tongue twister? These difficult phrases are intentionally challenging to say out loud (and fast!). Many tongue twisters are silly\, and include alliteration and rhyming. While some may not make much sense at all\, they’re fun to say\, and fun to try and repeat as fast as you can! Learn classic tongue twisters\, practice\, and see if you can beat the competition in our tongue twister tournament. \nThis event will be hosted by Children’s and Teens’ Services Volunteer Amber Auer with the help of Children’s and Teens’ Services Intern Zara Lees. This activity is entirely in English\, and no translation will be provided. All participants must be able to understand\, speak\, and write in English in order to participate in this program. Children between the ages 6–12 may participate in Library programs on their own\, while their chaperone remains inside the Library.\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1686067596052{border-left-width: 8px !important;padding-left: 8px !important;border-left-color: #9e0143 !important;border-left-style: solid !important;}”]Important information: This event is for Library members\, and advance registration is required.
