Idioms with as… as reversi memory game

Fold the cards that you are given so that the beginning and end of the as… as idioms are on opposite sides of the card, with either side up. Take turns trying to remember the whole idioms from the side you can see each time. Turn over and check, and if you are correct leave it that way around and try the next one. When you make a mistake, the next person does the same (with the cards you did and/ or other cards).

Without looking at the cards, match up the two halves of the idioms.
