What happened...?

http://visualidioms.blogspot.com/

The following activity is best done after the weekend, holiday or a longer time off school. Ask you students to think of something that happened to them in that time. They choose idioms that best represent the event. For example, they might have had an argument with their parents: There is a bone of contention between me and my parents. They don't want to buy me this i-phone because it's on the expensive side....But my old phone is on its last legs. Out of the blue, it broke down). It’s good to provide your students with the list of the idioms they've learned but they can also try to recall them from memory. Students are free to use any idioms they like but they should all make sense and fit in the story.
