Idioms Task Cards Figurative Language Activity

These task cards are a great way for students to have fun while practicing their skills with idioms and their meanings.

This activity has students visually seeing a picture and determining what phrase it is and its meaning.

Idioms included:

All ears
Apple of my eye
Break a leg
Cat got your tongue
Costs an arm and a leg
Crying my eyes out
Crying over spilled milk
Head in the clouds
It's written all over your face
Let the cat out of the bag
Lost my head
Money talks
On cloud 9
Open a can of worms
Raining cats and dogs
The cat is out of the bag
Time flies
Two heads are better than one
Walking on eggshells
When pigs fly
Zip your lips
