English is stuffed with food idioms, and your adult ESL students are probably swallowing them whole without knowing what they mean. This 72-page activity pack gives them a real taste of 30 food-themed idioms and sayings, from "spill the beans" to "walking on eggshells," through activities that build recognition, comprehension, fun, and real conversational use.

With this, your students will learn 30 idioms and expressions that they might hear or want to use. They’ll be practicing and reviewing all 30 with activities that make the terms memorable. These pages will be the ones that go home with them, not get tossed in the trash on their way out at the end of class.

 Idioms are the kind of everyday English that fluent speakers use without thinking twice but present a roadblock to people learning English. That’s why your students need to understand that "a smart cookie" and "a tough cookie" have nothing to do with baking or chocolate chips and that someone can "go bananas" without touching a single piece of fruit. Once they get that, they can start having fun making figurative language part of their daily communication.
