French tongue twisters – KS3 pronunciation worksheet

A light-hearted pronunciation activity to celebrate Tongue Twister Day (9 November) or just to dare students to untangle their tongues.
Students practise key French sounds through ten authentic virelangues, from easy warm-ups to trickier challenges — the kind that make even fluent speakers grin. The second page invites them to translate, build sentences, and invent their own tongue twisters.

What’s included

• 10 fun French tongue twisters with clear phonetic focuses
• Vocabulary boxes to support meaning and translation
• A follow-up writing task to create original tongue twisters
• Full translation page for teacher reference

Designed for KS3 French – ideal for pronunciation work, fun phonics lessons, or quick end-of-term speaking challenges.
Available in colour and black-and-white versions (PDF & editable PPTX).

This is a fun, confidence-building activity that helps students explore French sounds and rhythm while enjoying the challenge of speaking clearly first, then faster.

I hope you and your students have fun with it.
