“Don’t spill the beans!”
Don’t tell the secret
Don’t drop your food
Don’t eat too fast
Don’t plant beans
“She cried a river of tears.”
She made a river
She swam in a river
She cried a lot
She drank water
“He ran like the wind.”
He ran fast
He ran slowly
He made wind sounds
He flew
“He was glued to the TV.”
He couldn’t stop watching
He used real glue
He fell on the TV
He turned it off
“She lit up the room with her smile.”
She opened a window
She turned on a light
Her smile made others happy
She smiled in the dark
“The test was a piece of cake.”
The test was long
The test was easy
The test was about baking
I ate cake during the test
“Time flew by.”
The clock broke
Time stopped
Time passed quickly
Time had wings
“I have butterflies in my stomach.”
I ate butterflies
I like bugs
I feel nervous
I feel hungry
“My head is in the clouds.”
I’m wet
I’m daydreaming
I’m dizzy
I’m flying
“My backpack weighs a ton.”
It weighs one ton
It’s empty
It’s super heavy
It’s full of books
“He’s a walking dictionary.”
He reads a lot
He knows many words
He carries a dictionary
He is made of paper
“I’m feeling blue today.”
I’m cold
I’m sad
I love blue
I’m painting
“She was all ears during the story.”
She had big ears
She didn’t talk
She listened carefully
She fell asleep
“She has a heart of gold.”
She is kind and caring
Her heart is metal
She likes gold
She is rich
“The classroom was a zoo.”
It was empty
There were animals
It was dark
It was noisy and wild
