How to use the cards

Depending on the number of students in your class, each student (or a pair or small group) gets between three and six cards (more cards might be too much for students who are not that familiar with English idioms). 

Students should think of a situation related to an idiom. Individual students should tell their partner about the situation culminating in the idiom, or in the case of a pair or small group, tell the class.

Example: “It rained so much last Saturday that our trip to the zoo got cancelled. I was very disappointed. But then I had more time to study for my test on Monday, so I thought it was really a blessing in disguise that the trip got cancelled.” 

Students may be allowed to write out their stories, but should be encouraged to look up and speak – not-read – what they have written.
