Clue Hunt

In this worksheet, each sentence contains an idiom, and students use context clues to infer its meaning. They write the meaning in their own words, showing understanding of figurative language beyond direct definitions. This promotes critical thinking and interpretation skills, as students must analyze how the idiom relates to the surrounding text. The activity teaches learners to rely on context to decode unfamiliar expressions. It also enriches vocabulary and builds confidence in reading figurative language independently. This worksheet supports deeper comprehension skills essential for both literature and real-world communication.
