Idioms rarely make literal sense — you either know them, or you don't. Matching them against their real meanings, repeatedly, is the fastest way to make them stick.

How to Use This Activity

1. Tap an idiom on the left, then tap the meaning on the right you think matches it.
2. A correct match turns green and locks in place. An incorrect match briefly shakes red — try again.
3. Clear all 4 pairs in a round to move to the next one.
