I don �t know their ages, but you could have them write a rap song. 
 
Break them into groups and give each group one idiom per person.  The group then writes a rap (hip hop) song where each verse involves (uses) a separate idiom. The groups can then get up and sing their song (one verse per student).
 
Wouldn�t be bad if you had some background beat music or you could have the rest of the class keep the beat.
