Box

http://www.visual-idioms.com/
You'll need a shoe box with a hole in the lid big enough for you to poke your hand through it. Put several laminated cards with images inside (those you prepared for Pelmanism http://idioms-elt-tips.blogspot.cz/2013/08/cards-games-pelmanism.html). The students are sitting in a circle, the box in the middle on the floor. Ask one student to fish out one card from the box. He or she starts telling a story using the idiom that the image represents. The next student does the same and continues. Ideally, each student says 4-5 sentences. You can decide how long the story will be, depending on your students' interest. You can record the activity and ask your students to make a transcript of the story.
