FREEBIE

By: Cassie Dahl

 TEACHER DIRECTIONS:
Thank you for downloading this freebie! It is a great fun way to
practice common idioms with your students. There are 32 total cards.
Typically you (as the teacher) would keep the beginning and finish card
and split the rest up between your students. It is okay for kids to have
more than one card.

To start, read the first card. The student with the matching idiom would
then read their card and so on. This would continue until the finish idiom
card matches a definition.

You can also play this activity in a small group. Simply lay all of the cards
face up on a table (mix them around first) and have students “spot” the
idiom card that completes the definition and then have them read the
next idiom. Continue until all cards have been picked up off of the table.
