If you've ever had an adult ESL student nod along politely while having no idea what "a tightwad" or "pay through the nose" means, this shopping idioms activity pack is for you. I mean them. Really, it’s for everyone. Teachers will love how organized everything is, that differentiation is already built in, and that the answer keys are right there. Students will love the varied activities and the breadth of shopping related idioms and expressions.

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 getting a raw deal doesn’t mean something is undercooked and that a lemon is not always part of lemonade. Once they get that, they can start having fun making figurative language part of their daily communication.
