[GAME] Common English sayings

[Liv]

Hi everyone,

I don’t know about you, but I’m still over the moon about having emojis in the Community, so I have come up with a game still in celebration of the new feature.

Since a picture is worth a thousand words, I have translated 32 common English language sayings into emojis below. Can you guess which ones they are?

Be warned that there are some very British ones suggested by the amazing @Stephanie 😎

Also, please remember: many hands make light work, therefore let’s make sure everyone gets a chance to play. 

Break a leg! ✨
