Truth or Saying

This worksheet asks students to identify whether each sentence is a real proverb or a made-up phrase. They write “P” for Proverb or “M” for Made-up based on their knowledge of traditional expressions. The activity encourages students to distinguish authentic sayings from modern or humorous inventions. By analyzing the structure and tone of each sentence, students strengthen their understanding of how proverbs typically sound and function. This task promotes critical thinking, pattern recognition, and cultural awareness.
