Just a Quick Recap

Last year, we played Guess the Idiom: Body Parts. This year we are adding a dash of color and guessing color idioms.

Just to recap, idioms are phrases or expressions whose meaning cannot be understood from the literal definitions of their individual words. Understanding idioms is crucial for creating, deciphering, and conveying engaging, creative, and subtle subtexts in communication.

These are expressions such as be all ears, give a head start, or the ones you can find in the game below.

Play the Game

The game below contains 10 idioms with colors. Your goal is to guess the color of each idiom to complete the game. Each entry will provide you with feedback and the definition of the idiom. At the end, you’ll receive your score and the opportunity to replay the game.

Good luck!
