Having fun with idioms!!!


Objectives:

1) To learn the meaning and appropiate use of some idiomatic expressions.

2) To improve fluency by expressing ideas in a fast way.

3) To understand the sintagmatic relations that these idioms can establish.

Directions:

A) Put some papers with idioms and their definitions written into the bag.

B) Make every student take a peace of paper.

C) By pairs, the students will have to go infront of the class, say each idiom and perform a brief role-play in which they show the idiom's correct use while the others try to guess its meaning. Once somebody guesses the meaning , he/she will have to propose a new situation in which the idiom could be used properly.
D) Every student has to propose a new example. This will be done with every idiom.
