This image shows an "Idioms Memory Game." In this game, you match cards that go together. There are two types of cards shown:
1.
Example Cards: These show a picture and a sentence using the idiom (like "fish out of water" or "walk on eggshells").
2.
Definition Cards: These explain what the idiom means (like "someone who feels uncomfortable..." or "to try very hard not to upset someone").
To play or solve this puzzle, you need to pair each example with its correct meaning.
Here is how the pairs match up based on the cards shown:
Pair 1:
*
Card A: Shows a fish jumping out of a bowl. The text says: *"Carly felt like a fish out of water at the Boy Scout meeting."*
*
Card B: Says: *"This is an idiom that means: someone who feels uncomfortable in an unfamiliar situation"*
*
Match: These two go together because feeling like a "fish out of water" means you feel strange or uncomfortable because you aren't used to the place or people.
Pair 2:
*
Card C: Shows a girl walking carefully near broken eggs. The text says: *"My mom is always in a bad mood on Monday mornings. I walk on eggshells until she drops me off at school."*
*
Card D: Says: *"This is an idiom that means: to try very hard not to upset someone"*
*
Match: These two go together because "walking on eggshells" means being very careful with your words or actions so you don't make someone angry.
Pair 3 (from the grid at the bottom):
*
Card E: Shows a boy looking sad while others ignore him. The text says: *"Spot gave his family the cold shoulder when they got back from their vacation without him."*
*
Card F: Says: *"This is an idiom that means: to be intentionally ignored by another person"*
*
Match: These two go together because giving someone the "cold shoulder" means ignoring them or treating them in an unfriendly way on purpose.
Final Answer:

1.
"Fish out of water" matches with
"someone who feels uncomfortable in an unfamiliar situation."
2.
"Walk on eggshells" matches with
