Idioms Task Cards Memory
Mix the cards up and turn the cards upside down on the floor or a table. Work with a partner to try and find the 3 cards that go together. (For younger children, choose only a few idiom sets at a time.)
Idioms Task Cards Match Up
Mix up the cards and hand out one lemon, one pitcher, and one glass to each student. (If there are enough cards, each student can have 2 of each set.) One student reads out an idiom. Whoever has the meaning and the sentence hands them in. The person who had the sentence reads the next idiom.
Continue until all sets are matched or time is up.
