An activity where students were given half of a proverb/saying and were asked to complete it with what they thought was missing.

• A rolling stone is a rock group
• It is always darkest before the rain
• Strike while they strike you first
• The squeaking wheel gets hit
• You can lead a horse to water, but don’t ride it
• No news is a bad sign
• The pen is mightier than the pencil

• A penny saved is a good start
• Every cloud has water (some students are just so literal!)
• Don’t put all your eggs in the pan

And one more. This is an expression that also exists in Spanish and the student finished the proverb with a translation of what is said in Spanish: A bird in the hand is better than one hundred flying.
