Introduction: An idiom is a phrase or expression that typically presents a figurative, non-

literal meaning attached to the phrase. But an idiom's figurative meaning is different from the
literal meaning.
Idioms don't always make sense literally; you'll need to familiarize yourself with the meaning
and usage of each idiom. That may seem like a lot of work, but learning idioms is fun.

This project will help children to learn and illustrate idioms in a fun way through two
given activities.
Activity 1: Idiom Chart
Activity 2: Idiom Story
Objectives:
1. To appreciate the importance of idioms.
2. To identify idiomatic expressions by their meanings.
