Here
is a great little worksheet to help your students learn idioms. Here is what to
do: Choose an idiom. Talk about what it appears to sound like–the literal
meaning of the words. Have you student draw a picture that depicts the literal
meaning of the words in the box on the left. Then talk about what it means in
context. Have your student draw the figurative meaning of the phrase in the box
on the right. Compare and contrast the two drawings to help improve
understanding.

I can definitely use this right now! I have a couple of student who are really struggling with this!
It is very difficult for many of our students. I hope this helps! ๐
This is wonderful. I recently was completing an informal assessment and asked my student what "raining cats and dogs" meant. His response? Cats and dogs falling from the sky! That would be great! I'd get a free cat!" UGH!
