Every year around Spring Exhibit time, I have my students complete and illustrate famous idioms. I compile the pages into a class made book. The results are hysterical. The parents all crowd around the book, pointing out the funny sayings such as “You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him go swimming.”
I have posted the book and sheets on TPT. Click {here} to check it out. I have also upload a sample from the packet below.
What a fun idea!

I did something similar with the third grade class I student taught in. I read the book Monkey Business by Wallace Edwards and each student made a flip chart. They chose two idioms and on the front drew a picture of the literal meaning of the idiom (my favorite was a picture of a boy bouncing cats and dogs off an umbrella). On the inside the wrote what it meant and then drew of picture of the actual meaning. They had a lot of fun and it made a really cute bulletin board that I titled "Idioms are a Piece of Cake."
what a fun idea! my parents would love this! 🙂
So stinkin cute!! I do a huge unit on idioms, I think this would be a great way to introduce it. I have to squeeze this in somehow in the last 13 days I have left with them, I need a few good laughs! With the imaginations of my kids this year, I can only imagine!!
Hopping over the TpT to snag my copy right now!
