Note to reader: I had to try really hard not to include any cheesy idiom references in this post.
This week, my middle school students
had a ball learned about idioms. The kids especially loved "Idiom Pictionary." I printed some idioms on individual slips of paper. Each student had to pick an idiom and draw the literal representation of it on the board. The other students were the guessers. Once they
hit the nail on the head with their guesses guessed correctly, we discussed the figurative meaning of the idiom and used it in a sentence. I let them work in groups because
two head are better than one groups are more fun!

Can you guess this idiom? |
Click here for the idioms I used.
Some borrowed items I used this week included an idiom story and quiz you can find here and Lady Gaga idioms you can find here. "Can't read my. Can't read my. No he can't read my poker face." See, Gaga likes idioms, too : )
Talk it up!
