Idioms can be perplexing, especially to literal thinkers, kids with ASD, and non-native speakers. Yet idioms are everywhere - so it makes sense to teach them rather than try to avoid them. This robust set includes 125 Picture Cards and a variety of Bingo cards. Each card presents an idiom, illustrates its literal meaning, and offers three choices: the true definition and two plausible but incorrect (and sometimes funny) alternatives. The other side of the card shows only the idiom and the illustration. So, depending on which side of the card you use, students can choose the correct definition or come up with it on their own. Either way, they'll have a memorable visual association for each idiom and its true meaning.

These whimsical Picture Cards (along with 35 Bingo Cards, also included) can be used to play a variety of engaging games. A Leader's Guide offers instructions, ideas, and lots of fun follow-up activities.
