Idiom Activities

The new Commom core standards indicate that students should know about figurative language, including idioms.  Luckily for me, I've always loved word play, and already had a few activities under my belt (more figurative language)!

I also like to have the kids use technology to create their own illustrated idiom show.  I use PowerPoint, it's an important program for kids to be comfortable with.  Students LOVE the clip art, and I like not having to worry about citing sources for images from the web.

Our library has some great books about idioms, and the web has a plethora of games for kids to challenge themselves with.
