English to Spanish Idioms

This resource includes an answer sheet and a sheet for students.
On each sheet there are 141 English idioms and well-known sayings. Students must take to the Internet to try and translate these idioms on their blank sheet into Spanish, and then provide a literal translation of those idioms that are not the same in Spanish as they are in English (for example: to not beat around the bush - no ir al grano). Afterwards, they can use the answer sheet to compare the true idioms with their answers and translations, and perhaps make any notes about the similarities and differences they spot (e.g. how many Spanish idioms refer to bulls!).
It is a good way of encouraging GCSE students to think about how they can enrich their written and spoken Spanish, as well as encouraging GCSE and A-level students to consider how they might use the Internet wisely to help them with translation skills.
