Idioms
By Cathy

|
My fourth graders absolutely love learning about idioms! We brainstorm as many as we can. I give them a list of about 40 that I have found. We discuss the real meaning and talk about how funny it would look if we interpret figurative language literally. We make idiom books where they write the real meaning (You're driving me up a wall means you are making me crazy.) but we draw the literal meaning. They love to share their pictures with the class because they are so funny! We make these into class books and share them with other classes. We also do charades with idioms and the kids have to guess which idiom we are acting out.
