Fun Friday – Finish this phrase…

A family favorite board game at our house is Catch Phrase. We divide into teams and shout out clues to describe the phrase or word displayed in the window of the game device. Given the word “backpack” my son gave clues such as, “something you carry your books to school in.”

Sometimes while on a long car ride or stuck in traffic, the boys and I will make up a game to entertain ourselves. On a recent occasion we made up a game and titled it, Finish this phrase. Below are the phrases we came up with. How many of the phrases can you complete?
