High School EFL - ESL - ELD Internet Activities

Idioms can be tricky for English language learners or students with language learning difficulties to understand and they often need to be specifically introduced to them. This online, self-checking, activity hosted at Boom Learning℠, shows students 10 different idioms on 20 different cards, so they see each idiom twice.

The first 10 illustrated cards ask student to identify the literal meaning of the idiom in a sentence from 3 possible choices.

The second set of 10 cards asks student to pick the idiom that best goes with the sentences, again from 3 possible choices.

Idioms included in this deck are: all ears, under the weather, when pigs fly, couch potato, between a rock and a hard place, curiosity killed the cat, out of left field, walking on eggshells, over the moon, looking for a needle in a haystack.
