Idiom Illustrations
(visual/oral/auditory/kinesthetic)
Have individual students think of idioms whose literal meanings would be fun to illustrate.
You may need to suggest some of the idioms given here or to provide students with a dictionary of idioms.
Ask students to write each idiom on a card. Next, have small groups combine their card piles and shuffle the deck.
Students then take turns selecting a card and illustrating the literal meaning of the idiom on a flipchart.
The first student to guess the idiom scores a point.
