The Wild West idioms in this pack are a fun and interactive way to practise reading inference skills. For example, if in the Wild West is ‘stringing a whizzer’ it means they’re telling a tall tale. Children can also enhance their writing by adding idioms or extra detail to stories which take place in historical settings.
The pack contains:
- Wild West phrase cards – the cards are presented on separate pieces of paper so that they can be shared amongst pupils in a group. Children can discuss the meanings of these phrases out of context. Also included are larger versions of the idioms so that they can be used for display.
- Wild West phrase definitions – these definition cards can be matched up to the Wild West idioms. These definitions are available in a small size for sharing at a table, and also in a larger size for display.
- Wild West phrase answer sheet – this sheet presents the Wild West idioms with their definitions.
- Wild West phrase sentence worksheets – children can read the idioms in context and then try to infer their meaning. Two worksheets using different Wild West phrases are included.
