Idioms Figurative Language Activity

Description

How to teach Idioms

Using Idioms Figurative Language Activity, students demonstrate 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.

Students will match idioms to their meanings by playing Go Fish, Memory, or Matching Game. Students will then illustrate and explain the meaning

of each phrase.
