Cliches (proverbs) are old wise sayings by which many of us live. Challenge your students to see how many of them they know. With this worksheet, they will fill in the blanks with the missing words of these cliches. Students can work with a partner, a group, or ask for parents' help. It's a great way to introduce fables because these cliches can serve as morals to their stories.

I have taught for 36 years at the 3rd, 5th, and 6th grade levels. Fifth grade is my first love. I teach all major subject areas. In addition to my regular classroom duties, I have taught in a Basic Skills summer school program for many years as well as taught workshops to co-workers in whole language and technology. My other duties at school include being "Teacher in Charge" and Student Council advisor.
