School Fun
(NFW) - A first grade teacher collected well known Proverbs. She gave each child in her class the first half of a proverb and asked them to come up with the remainder of the proverb.
Better to be safe than ..................... punch a fifth grader. Strike while the ..................... bug is close. It's always darkest before ..................... Daylight Savings Time. Never underestimate the power of ..................... termites. You can lead a horse to water but ..................... how? Don't bite the hand that ..................... looks dirty. No news is ..................... impossible. You can't teach an old dog new ..................... math. If you lie down with dogs, you'll ..................... stink in the morning. The pen is mightier than the ..................... pigs. Happy the bride who ..................... get all the presents. A penny saved is ..................... not much. Two's company, three's ..................... the Musketeers. None are so blind as ..................... Stevie Wonder. Children should be seen and not ..................... spanked or grounded. If at first you don't succeed ..................... get new batteries. You get out of something what you ..................... see pictured on the box. When the blind leadeth the blind ..................... get out of the way.
