Write down several well-known tongue twisters or alliterative sentences of your own creation. Re-write each sentence on a set of index cards, with one word per card. Mix up each set so the words of the sentence are no longer in order. Divide your class into groups and give each group a set of cards. Instruct each group to make a sentence from the words on the cards. The activity will go quickly if you have used well-known tongue twisters, and it will take a little more time if you write your own sentences. Have each group share their sentence or tongue twister with the class.
Have each student come up with a word that begins with the same letter as their first name. Go around the room and have each student introduce themselves and everyone who has gone before them with the correct alliterative words. A student named Adam may choose the word "apple." If he is the fifth student to introduce himself and has gone after Ryan, Steven, Mary, and Jenny, he will say his name and alliterative word as well as the names and words of the four preceding students. "Hello. I'm Adam Apple. This is Jenny Jubilant, Mary Mathematics, Steven Spooky, and Ryan Ridiculous." This game works well sitting in a circle, but it will also work in a traditional classroom setting.
Begin each round of this game with a location. Have students come up with names of things to bring to this location that start with the same letter. Go around the room and have each student add to the list of things to take to this location. Try not to allow any repetition of items to bring. For example, if you choose Washington as a location, the fourth student will have to come up with something to bring that starts with the letter W, and she will have to remember what the previous three students said. "I am going to Washington, and I am taking a wash rag, a weed eater, a wedding ring, and a worm."
Divide your class into small groups. Divide all the letters in the alphabet evenly among the groups. Omit the letter X if you wish. Have each group write a sentence or tongue twister of words starting with each of their letters. Encourage them to make the sentences as long as possible. Warn them that the sentences must make sense. If they need to add a word that does not begin with their letter to logically build the sentence, allow it. "We went to Washington with women wearing warped washboards" needs the word "to," but it needs no other additions. Warn your students that they should not use too many words that do not start with their assigned letter. Have several rounds of this game, with the groups only working on one letter per round. Assign points and rewards for the longest or most creative sentence.
