    We say the following when playing a game called Ring:-
    Sally go round the moon,
    Sally go round the stars,
    Sally go round the chimney pot,
    On Sunday after-noon Whoo - oo.
    "Windy weather,
    Frosty weather,
    When the wind blows, we all go togeth(er.")

    "Three grey geese in a green field grazing
    Grey were the geese, and green was th(e) grazing."
    "Twelve twittering tomtits teasing titmice."
    "Eleven eager earwigs eating eggs."
    These tongue twisters are very difficult t(o) say quickly, and often cause laughter and fun.
