Fishing for Idioms!


I think that everything went super well for the Language Arts Fest! I bet you, our booth was the prettiest and had the longest queue! =D

But one thing I've learnt; never underestimate young kiddoes, but don't overestimate them either! I.e. Gotta' estimate them just right xD

Because in our wonderful game, the kiddoes have to fish half an idiom out of the fishtank, and complete it to successfully get their stamp and prize. So we decided to have 3 difficulty levels for them, easy, medium and hard; thinking that we shouldn't underestimate kids these days.

Today I found out that we wrong! The kids can't even complete the easiest of idioms and we had to give them so many clues! After which they gave the funniest replies...

*Kiddo 1 fishes out a card.*
Us: Curiosity killed the...?
Kiddo 1: Err, I dunno'...
*Us think: Huh isn't this quite simple?*
Us: OK, here's a clue. It ends with just one word, and it's an animal.
Kiddo 1: Err, rabbit?
Us: '_'

*Kiddo 2 fishes out a card.*
Us: Money is the root of all...?
Kiddo 2: Life?
Us: '_'

*Kiddo 3 fishes out a card.*
Us: Have a whale of a...?
Kiddo: Mime?
*Me thinks: Only when you play charades can you have a whale of a mime!*

*Kiddo 4 fishes out a card.*
Us: One man's meat...?
Kiddo 4: Is another man's bones?
Us: O_o

Guess the kids need more help with idioms!

WINNIE THE POOH

With a good appetite, you may either love to cook, or just love to eat! Being a laid-back kind of person, you enjoy the simple things in life. That's okay, because you don't like things moving too fast, anyway.
