Sports Themed Idiom Cards and Worksheets

Idioms can be tricky to work on because they are not always that commonly used, but sports idioms are used in many situations that your students might encounter.  Also, because most of them are based on familiar sports, it’s easier to understand where their meanings came from. These 30 sports themed idioms and their meanings are presented in two different printable formats – cards and worksheets and an interactive one. The card pairs include an idiom and its meaning and can be used in matching games or as stimulus cards for other games.  The 3 different worksheets each contain 10 idioms and their meanings, which can be used as practice pages or as pre-tests and post-tests. Answer pages for the worksheets are also provided.

Interactive Material: This material includes an interactive version that can be used in teletherapy. The file can be uploaded to Google Slides or opened in PowerPoint and then shared with the student. In order for the drag-and-drop pieces to work, make sure you are in edit mode (NOT in presentation mode). If you are using PowerPoint, you’ll need to enable editing.
