Digital Daily Warm-Ups: Common English Idioms Years 7-10

The Daily Warm-Ups series is a wonderful way to turn extra classroom minutes into valuable learning time. The 180 quick activities – consisting of one commonly-used English phrase – review, practise and teach common English idioms. With these brief activities students will explain common idioms with the help of everyday scenarios, from a friend “lending a hand” when moving out of home, to your dog being given a “clean bill of health” by the vet. If students have not come across an idiom before, the scenario should help them to figure out and explain what the idiom means. Daily Warm-Ups are easy-to-use activities. Make them into laminated cards for student use. You may want to use he activities as a test on English vocabulary that is built and acquired over time.
