Idiom Jeopardy was the activity for Coffee Talk last night. One of my brilliant students designed a Jeopardy game on the computer. We divided the idioms into 8 categories such as Love, Health, and Disagreement. Each team had one minute to come up with the answer to their chosen question. The questions increased in difficulty as the points rose. For example, for 100 points, the team only had to decide if the meaning of an idiom was true or false. But for 500 points, only the meaning was given and the team had to try to guess the idiom and then put it into a sentence. The winning team members received ballpoint pens as their prize. After the game, we punished all class disturbers who had gotten a Red Card during Fun With Idioms and they had to dance in front of the group. After that, we had a sing-a-long to some English songs.
