English to French Idiom Translations

This resource includes an answer sheet and a sheet for students.
On each sheet there are 142 English idioms and well-known sayings. Students must take to the Internet to try and translate these idioms on their blank sheet into French, and then provide a literal translation of those idioms that are not the same in French as they are in English (for example: raining cats and dogs - pleuvoir des cordes). Afterwards, they can use the answer sheet to compare the true idioms with their answers and translations.
It is a good way of encouraging GCSE students to think about how they can enrich their written and spoken French, as well as encouraging GCSE and A-level students to consider how they might use the Internet wisely to help them with translation skills.
