Draw the Pictures

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a creative educational activity that combines art and language skills by asking students to illustrate and use idioms in sentences. The worksheet displays four idioms: “A penny for your thoughts,” “Break the ice,” “Barking up the wrong tree,” and “By the skin of your teeth.” For each idiom, there is a box where students are directed to draw a picture that they feel represents the idiom’s meaning, followed by lines where they are to write a sentence using the idiom correctly.

The worksheet aims to teach students about idiomatic expressions, encouraging them to think about the figurative meaning behind these phrases. By drawing a picture related to each idiom, students engage with the imagery that idioms evoke, which helps in understanding and remembering them. Writing sentences using the idioms in the correct context further reinforces their comprehension and ability to use idioms in communication. This multifaceted approach caters to different learning styles and helps solidify the students’ grasp of figurative language.
