Drawing Idioms

Students were given a list of idioms that were studied in class. We reviewed their meanings, then the students were asked to draw what the idiom seemed to suggest literally. This is exactly the opposite activity of the worksheets from Myra Auslin's "Monkey Business." Ms. Auslin's book contains such absurdities, which the students cross out to signify their deceptive meanings.
