I tried this video back in NY while teaching to ESL adult students. They were intermediate students, though with good english knowledge. I was supposed to teach idioms and this video helped me to first remove myself from being the center of attention and second to help students learn the idioms more easily, as the visualizations readily stick in their mind. The students very much liked the video and its humor refreshed the class atmosphere. However, I suggest to include some post-task exercises both written and spoken to reinforce them. There are other categories such as eye idioms as well which can be used to teach idioms in a fun way.
