Here is a great new activity that incorporates language arts into drama! Idioms are common sayings that mean something different than the words convey. Audience members will have a blast trying to figure out the sayings as fellow students act them out.
There are 52 idioms on two pages, ready to be printed out and cut apart. Students pull an idiom out of a hat and then use movement and gestures to portray the idiom. Complete instructions for charades are included.
Examples of idioms:
Thank your lucky stars
An eye for an eye
Jump the gun
