fun things kids say as first class attention grabbers

Fri Aug 23 15:34:10 UTC 2013

My daughter produced  a few nuggets between 1-2 years – she was a bit precocious:
Pick you up me (presumably hearing “do you want me to pick you up?” often, so that it became a single verb
I do it Jamieself

Just shy of 3, she produced a great slip: the cooken is chicked for the chicken is cooked, which did make me wonder about the morphological status of the –en.

I really enjoyed reading the examples everyone so generously shared and I saved all of them. Here's one I use in my class (I might have learned about it from our list):

I like using YouTube clips for teaching.

Here's one I use when I talk about "chunking" (acquiring the meaning of a chunk of words together):

And another good one for turn-taking, prosody, and pragmatics:

My son once asked, "Dad, can I get a banjo that you play like this?" Then he made the motion for a violin.

Hello all,

I like to use attention grabbers the first day of class in my language acquisition courses. I usually mention the fis phenomenon, McNeill and Braine on negative evidence, and some fun errors (for example from Erika Hoff's and Eve Clark's books, with attribution). Students laugh and become really interested in figuring out why kids say the darnedest things.
I was wondering if somebody can share examples that can be used this way or if people have some favorite ones they use.
Thanks all.
