You can study and practice phrasal verbs on a number of pages on EnglishHints: Phrasal Verb Use (and other idiom pages), Idiom Examples (conversations demonstrating the use of many phrasals), Idioms Worksheet (a pdf to see how many you have learned), Memory Game 1 (phrasal verb idioms A-L) and Memory Game 2 (M-Z.)
This page is specifically about a pdf with classroom lessons and practice for about 100 of the most common phrasal verbs. It takes much of the information from the pages above, revises and rearranges it, and puts it into a classroom-friendly format.

• classroom phrasals,
