Description
How to teach Idioms
Using this Flip-a-Chip Idioms Activity, students demonstrate an understanding of figurative language, word relationships, and nuances in word meanings.
Idioms are used in many of the books that our students read. Your students need to know what the most common idioms mean so that they understand what is being said. This activity will help your students learn about idioms and how to use them in their own writing.
Students will determine the meaning of common idioms by matching an Idiom Nacho Chip to its Meaning Bowl. Choose a set of numbered chips and their matching bowls (1-6) and place them face down on the concentration mat. Players take turns flipping over game pieces to try and find an idiom and its matching meaning. Play three rounds using various sets of chips and bowls. The player with the most pairs at the end of three rounds is the winner. After the game, students fill out the proper recording sheet.
