Lion sounds exactly like the first half of lying, so it fits into any statement of honesty. It is short, easy to say out loud, and works on cards, captions and texts.
Are these lion puns suitable for children?
Yes. Every line is clean and family-safe, and the kids section sticks to simple wordplay a seven-year-old can follow, such as cub-cakes, lion low in hide and seek and a bedtime reminder to lion down.
