Here is another Dementia Cafe picture quiz. Ask members to look at the pictures and guess at the proverbs they are portraying. If they get stuck on any of them give the first part of the proverb, which are written below. Then discuss what each saying means.
PS If I've missed any obvious ones let me know in comments and I'll add them.
I've linked songs which are sort of based on proverbs.

Curiosity killed the CAT
The early bird catches the WORM
A dog is a man's best FRIEND
While the cat's away the mice will PLAY
Counting sheep to go to SLEEP
Birds of a feather flock TOGETHER
Pigs might FLY
You can't teach an old dog NEW TRICKS
A bird in the hand is worth two in THE BUSH
Don't bite the hand that FEEDS YOU
An apple a day keeps the doctor AWAY
A leopard can't change it's SPOTS
A stitch in time saves NINE
The grass is always greener on the other SIDE
All that glitters is not GOLD
You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it DRINK
Like a bull in a china SHOP
Kill two birds with one STONE
Like a fish out of WATER
Wolf in sheep's CLOTHING
Let the cat out of the BAG
Hear no evil, see no evil, SPEAK NO EVIL
Rome wasn't built in a DAY
Raining cats and DOGS
The pen is mightier than the SWORD
Better safe than SORRY
Don't cry over spilt MILK
Too many cooks spoil the BROTH
Many hands make light WORK
Like the cat that got the CREAM
Laughter is the best MEDICINE
A rolling stone gathers no MOSS
Home is where the HEART IS
Variety is the spice OF LIFE
Those who live in glass house shouldn't throw STONES
Don't teach your grandmother to SUCK EGGS
Money doesn't grow on TREES
Never judge a book by IT'S COVER
Caught red HANDED
Pie in the SKY
Zebra CROSSING
