Once in a blue moon
Only once in a while
All of the time
I’m so hungry I could eat a horse.
I'm SO hungry
I want to actually eat a horse
I'm so full
Break a leg
Good luck
Snap your bones
She swims like a fish.
She is not a good swimmer
She swims very well
He hit the nail on the head.
He got it exactly right
He picked up a hammer and hit a nail
I’ve told you a million times!
I've told you many times
I haven't told you anything
Her smile is a ray of sunshine.
Her smile is yellow like the sun
Her smile is very bright and welcoming
He was as quiet as a mouse.
He is very loud and can't be quiet
He is very quiet
It’s raining cats and dogs.
It's raining very heavy
Cats and dogs are falling from the sky
She spilled the beans.
She let out a secret
She knocked over the baked beans
The classroom was a zoo.
The class was acting crazy
The class went on a field trip
The alarm clock yelled at me to wake up.
The alarm clock went off loudly
The alarm clock came to life and screamed
He has a heart of stone.
His heart skips a beat
He is not very kind
The stars danced in the sky.
The stars put on tutus and danced a ballet
The stars were shining
Don’t count your chickens before they hatch.
Gather 12 dozen eggs everyday
Don't count on something happening until it actually does
Actions speak louder than words.
Speaking loudly is more important than anything else
What you do is more important than what you say
As busy as a bee.
Very busy
Not busy at all
Don't cry over spilled milk
When there's a spill, clean it up
Don't worry about the little things
