All 12 idioms are introduced through a short dialogue. Students read the dialogue, work out the meaning of each expression and match it to its definition (e.g. shop till you drop, shopping spree, a steal, grab a bargain). After that students complete a multiple-choice exercise. For additional practice, students are given 4 sentences and they are asked to replace part of the sentence with the correct idiom. The last 2 activities are focused on speaking: first students are given a few questions to discuss and then they complete a role-play activity.

The set of printable conversation cards can be used for additional speaking practice and to review the idioms.
