We often use sayings that have meaning beyond the literal meaning. This material allows a person to practice their understanding of figurative language while also targeting attention, memory, verbal expression, and visual scanning.
The activities in this pack can be used with middle and high school aged children who need support in improving social/pragmatic language skills, and higher level language skills. Page one features some classic idioms with engaging graphics. Page 2 provides an opportunity to discuss facial expressions/vocabulary as tied to emojies, while the final 2 pages challenge kids to look at real photos of people and describe the emotions and infer possible situations that are occurring in the photos.
