At the end of class, I will have expanded my vocabulary by playing a game about English proverbs

Question: What is a proverb?

Question: What is an idiom?

An proverb is:

A saying or expression that is often used to express truth or to give advice.

Do you know any proverbs in Dutch? And in English?

Discuss with a neighbour for 1 minute.

How does it work?

• Played in teams of 4. Only 1 laptop per team
• Log into LessonUp with your team number (e.g. Team 3)
• For every proverb, discuss in English what it could mean for about a minute
• Write down the meaning in English and submit your answer
• The teacher is the judge
• The team with most points wins!
• No cheating! Don't look it up on Google, that's no fun! 

Time to make teams!

The teacher will make teams now.

Sit together with your team and have 1 person bring a laptop. 

Log into the LessonUp with your team number.

Are you ready? Remember, discuss in English as much as you can!

Proverb #1:
Strike while the iron is hot.

Meaning:

Take action when an opportunity or chance arises, for it may not happen again!

Proverb #2:
Too many cooks spoil the broth.

Meaning:

When too many people want to do the same thing at the same time, there might be trouble!

Proverb #3:
Beggars can't be choosers.

Meaning:

You should accept what you get offered for free!

Proverb #4:
Two wrongs don't make a right.

Meaning:

If someone is bad to you, it does not mean that being bad to them too will make things good again.

Proverb #5:
Don’t bite off more than you can chew.

Meaning:

Don't force yourself to do too much you can handle, otherwise you cannot focus on what you're doing.

Proverb #6:

You made your bed, now you have to lie in it.

Meaning:

You have to live with the consequences of your own actions.
