Practice IELTS questions
call my bluff - give one team an idiom with the correct definition and ask them to invent 2 more
definitions and the other tam have to guess which is the correct and then maybe invent mini dialogues -
upper int?
1. 8-10 Idioms are chosen within a topic learners have been working on: food e.g.
eyes bigger than your belly
to be as hungry as a horse
to bite off more than you can chew, etc.
2. Learners use a card-matching activity to match idioms and meanings.
3. Learners pay a betting a game, betting to see if their matches are correct, justifying
reasons.
4. Learners are given pictures which can be described using the target idioms, e.g.
Homer Simpson thinking about a doughnut: It makes his mouth water.
5. Learners personalise idioms to talk about their own food experiences, e.g. when
hungry, I could eat a horse.
could you talk about idioms involving animals with all different meanings?
yeah its a bit random

I feel like it's impossible to keep up with the new ones.
