First and Second Halves

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a matching activity focused on proverbs, which are short, commonly used expressions that encapsulate moral or practical advice. Students are given two lists: one with the beginnings of well-known proverbs and the other with possible endings. Their task is to draw connections between the two lists, matching each proverb’s start to its correct ending. An illustration of a character thinking deeply beside a speech bubble symbolizes the reflective process students should engage in while completing the exercise.

The worksheet aims to teach students about the structure and wisdom of traditional proverbs. By matching the beginnings to their endings, students practice their memory and understanding of these common phrases. The activity also helps to enhance their reading comprehension and knowledge of the English language’s cultural idioms. Completing this task allows students to become more familiar with the concise and metaphorical nature of proverbs, which are often used in everyday speech.
