IDIOMS

Visit the "Idioms by Kids" website to get a large list of idioms.  You may then choose idioms from the list that have not been illustrated and illustrate them with fine point marker or colored pencil.  You can use words within the illustration, but "not" the idiom itself.  The illustration should tell the idiom.  Humor is allowed.  Your teacher could scan the illustration and submit it to the "Idioms by Kids" website.

Here are the directions for illustrating and submitting an idiom:

 If you are interested in adding your picture to this website, follow the steps below.

1) Find any idiom that you wish to draw that hasn't already been drawn.  (These are the ones that are not in blue!)

2) Make certain that you read it carefully and think about exactly what it says!!!

3) Think about how you could best draw this (Funny and unusual drawings are the best)

4) Get a piece of clean, crease free white paper. Make it square! (8 1/2 by 8 1/2 works easily)

5) Draw the picture carefully using pencil or black felt or pencil ( Start light and darken it in later )

6) Words can be used, but DO NOT use the idiom or put it anywhere in the drawing!

7) If you use words, make certain that they can be read easily and are spelled correctly.

8) It is not necessary to color in the background unless it helps the picture.  Color the drawing using felts or pencil crayons.  (The brighter the picture, the better it will look)
