Living in the UK - Understanding Idioms

A PowerPoint with an introduction to idioms, followed one idiom per slide. Covers 10 common idioms with images, an example and simple explanation.  Perfect for whole class learning, discussion and embedding knowledge for all levels, and especially for ESOL. 

In addition there are several game suggestions in the slide notes and a separate set of match cards. Use together or on their own. 

Editor's notes

Lovely and a great discussion prompt. English as First Language students (such as Functional Skills or GCSE) could be tasked with investigating the origins of some of the idioms.
