Proverb Tales

In this worksheet, students read short passages and identify which proverb best matches the story’s moral lesson or main idea. They choose from a list of proverbs labeled A-J. The activity requires students to interpret narrative events and connect them to the life lesson conveyed by each saying. This enhances reading comprehension, inferencing, and the ability to summarize central themes. Students strengthen cultural and linguistic understanding by seeing how proverbs apply to real-world scenarios.
