Happy Friday the 13th! To counteract all of that “bad luck” that this day is rumored to bring, I have teamed up with 20 FANTASTIC, upper elementary bloggers to shower you with some amazing St. Patrick’s Day freebies!
My students have loved learning about Idioms this year. Let’s be honest, they practically B.E.G for them everyday. Most of my kiddos are English Language Learners and idioms baffle them. So instead of having them stress out over the meaning of these funny phrases, we have fully embraced them by going over an idiom a day.
Everyday, after recess we review an idiom from my Idiom a Day pack. We draw a picture of what we think it literally sounds like, and then they guess what they think it means. I help them out by using it in context… often in funny ways- using the students as the subject in the sentence or my kids and husband in it. They EAT.IT. UP!
So, for your fabulous freebie, I created a set of St. Patrick’s Day Idioms!
You will get 16 Idioms that relate to St. Patrick’s day in some way- whether it be luck, or green or money! This is an easy 5 minute addition to your St. Patrick’s week that will engage and expand your student’s language! You can grab this freebie here, at my Teachers Pay Teachers store.
Continue on this Freebie trail… You have to see what Tabitha from Flap Jack Educational Resources has in store for you!
My students loved working on idioms last year – they are so much fun. There favourite activity – bring an idiom to school!!
I just did an idiom craftivity with my kiddos this week (who are not ELL) and I was surprised at how many they didn't know. This will be great practice for them! Thanks! And thanks for organizing this cool blog hop! : )
