After you've presented your students with a bunch of idioms, ask your students to sort them into categories and sub-categories. For example, they can divide the idioms into those with positive connotations and those that have negative connotations. Then they can divide them according to their relation to certain concepts (love, relationships, optimism). They can also take into account formality, whether they are used in American or British English, etc.
