Animal Idioms

This 9-question quiz is a fun way to practice common English idioms, where every missing word is an animal.

You read a sentence with a gap and fill it in, like Miggy asked his friends not to let the ___ out of the bag. or Gary is a ___. He reads 6 books in a week., so it is great for learners picking up everyday expressions.

What makes idioms tricky is that the words rarely mean what they literally say, so guessing the animal is really about knowing the phrase as a whole.

It is a relaxed set that pairs well with conversation practice.

Recommended level: intermediate.
