Say It Another Way

In this worksheet, students rewrite plain, literal sentences using appropriate idioms that express the same meaning. For example, they might replace “start over completely” with “back to square one.” This creative task encourages expressive writing and deepens understanding of figurative language. It strengthens students’ vocabulary, tone awareness, and ability to use idioms naturally in writing.
