I�m a Brit living in Spain teaching English because that�s all I could find over here. I like it though. I also upload my worksheets on ISL Collective, normally a day or two after I have done so here. br You can order my books by pasting this into the browser: https://www.amazon.es/Dale-Bates/e/B08QD5M5PQ?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1&qid=1613573760&sr=8-1

Idioms with food
This could be used to test the students� knowledge of idiomatic expression with food or as a guessing game. I always make them give me a fresh example after they get one right. I may update this with a related bingo activity at a later date.

Idioms with Get
These are mostly in a business context in this worksheet but all of these idioms are pretty common enough. The first five are also included in a short quiz on the origin of the expressions which can be done in teams for larger groups. The answers are on the back.

Idioms with parts of the Body
Another one of my idioms series but this time with parts of the body. A fun quiz on the origins of the expressions is included as well as the answers. You should edit number 6 if you are planning on using it with children or in a country with a conservative policy on narcotics, as there is a reference to casual drug use.

In Order To - Alternatives ways to say it
I sent this last week but deleted it as I was not very happy about some of the structures and explanations. There were also a couple of mistakes. I am quite happy with this version and have tested it a couple of times. There is a short dice game to practice it with the students.
