Description

Teaching idioms is a piece of cake with this great bundle of posters, task cards, worksheets, and games! These activities support 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade ELA standards and are also great for your ELL students.

POSTERS

Includes posters or anchor charts for 45 common idioms.

Each 8x10 poster includes an idiom, its meaning, and a literal illustration. They can be cut apart and used as a matching activity or left together as posters.

These visuals are a great way to introduce new vocabulary and to hang as a reference in your classroom.


TASK CARDS

On each card, students read a sentence that contains an idiom and choose the correct meaning.

Includes

  • 16 task cards
  • recording sheet
  • answer key

The task cards are provided in 2 formats: quarter-page size for student and full-page that can be projected onto your interactive whiteboard for whole group practice.

There is also a set of digital task cards in Easel with self-checking answers.


GAMES

This bundle includes two different games to add some fun and cooperative learning to your figurative language lessons.

Idioms Charades

Includes 16 idioms cards. Students take turns acting out the idioms while the other try to guess what it is. Includes recording sheet.

Idioms Spoons

In this game, students pass around cards trying to be the first to collect 4 cards that build a complete idiom. Fun and fast-paced! This game is modeled after the traditional Spoons card game.


WORKSHEETS

These can be used during instruction or for review. Includes 8 worksheets plus a two-page reading passage. These activities mostly focus on using context clues within the text to understand the meaning of idioms.


DIGITAL QUIZ

This is an Easel assessment. Students are shown a literal picture of each idiom along with a sentence. They must use context clues to determine the meaning of the idiom.

This is a multiple-choice quiz with embedded audio that reads the questions and answer choices aloud. Students receive immediate feedback after answering each question and also at the end when they've completed the quiz.

I had students in my ASD class who were struggling with idioms. These task cards made it easier for them to understand and identify idioms in speech, beginning with matching picture scenes of idioms to actual meanings.

My students loved using this resource for their work! They were engaged in the resource and had no trouble getting started. It didn’t take much time to prepare this resource, so it was easy for me to use. I adapted it a little bit for my students and had them skip some of the challenging questions.
