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 deck is a followup to sets 1–3 in my store and includes all 32 American English idioms from the first 3 decks. Although the format is basically the same and the same idioms are included, this is not just a compilation of the previous decks into one deck - all the sentences are different from the original decks. It can be used as a review of decks 1-3, or as a standalone activity.

Some cards ask student to identify the literal meaning of the idiom in a sentence. Other cards ask student to pick the idiom that best goes with the sentences. The cards are randomized, so a different selection of 20 out of the 64 cards will be presented in each round. (Please note that if you are assigning the activity via a "fast pin", all 64 cards will be presented to the students!)

The idioms included in this deck are: raining cats and dogs, cut corners, beat around the bush, bite the bullet, a dime a dozen, turn on a dime, wild horses couldn't drag me, get my goat, get your ducks in a row, hit the nail on the head, a piece of cake, think outside the box, all in the same boat, like a fish out of water, break a leg, all bark and no bite, bite off more than you can chew, on top of the world, throw in the towel, let the cat out of the bag, kill two birds with one stone, pie in the sky, 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.
