Idiom Matching Worksheet: What Do These Expressions Really Mean?

Children draw lines to match five familiar idioms—including “break the ice,” “a piece of cake,” and “spill the beans”—with their meanings. The worksheet introduces how an idiom’s meaning can differ from the meanings of its individual words, building vocabulary and language comprehension. Read the phrases aloud together and use it for a small-group language activity, literacy center, or independent practice.
