							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.  |

I can offer you some puzzles with idioms. I have uploaded one here: ....I have more that I could upload if you are interested.   I have other worksheets on idioms...just check my uploads.   Good luck with your teaching.      |
