For middle-schoolers
Saying Challenge en binôme, chacun a une illustration différente.
Step 1: Look at your picture and try to figure out which saying it represents and what it means.
Step 2: Convince your partner that you really know which saying your picture illustrates and what it means.
Step 3: Your partner must guess whether you’re telling the truth. If they find out, they win; if not, you do.
History challenge
