Use these 32 multiple choice Idiom Task Cards to help your students learn the meanings of common idioms. In addition to the 32 cards, there is also a Challenge Card that can be used with every other card in the set to extend the activity. The Challenge Card requires students to write a short paragraph using the idiom on the card they just worked on. A student answer sheet is included as well as an answer key so students can check their work. The multiple choice format makes these cards great for test prep. Use them at centers, in pairs or small groups, or with your entire class using a game like Scoot.
