Conducted Speech

 It is noisy, effective and fun!

 Select a tongue twister from this page of eg. "Sister Susie is sewing shirts for soldiers".
 Divide your class into groups of four. Three in each group will be the speakers and the fourth,
the conductor.
 The speakers repeat the tongue twister responding to the conductor's direction. He/she can
make them go faster or slower, louder or quieter.
 The goal of the exercise is to practice articulation coupled with vocal variety ie. speech rate and
volume.
 Swap the conductor role around to give everybody a turn.
