I saw this really cute idea on Pinterest for an idiom of the week board. In this past I've tried to do an idiom of the week/month/whenever I got around to it. I think I tried too hard to make it a part of weekly instruction. I tried to do quizzes and get the students to come up with examples... Really, it was all great in theory but was harder in practice. The problem was always that it was another thing I had to keep track of and make activities for.
What I like about this is it's something I can have up and don't have to draw attention to it. If students are interested, it's something they can keep track of and use on their own. If students do use the phrases during class, that's something I can praise. If students don't use the phrase... well at least I can beef up on idioms on my own ;)
