Today I am going to share with you an activity from Jessica, the author of Figuratively Speeching SLP. She is from Long Island, NY, and is one of the first Speech-Language Pathologist I met when I started blogging in January of this year. She has helped me throughout the process, and continues to do so when I have a "newbie" question. We decided to do an "Activity Swap" and today I am going to share one of her great materials with you.
The name of the activity is Spring Idioms, and it includes:
- 24 idiom cards with matching definitions
- One 3-page game board
- Poke cards, to include multiple choice idiom definitions
- Blank cards for you to create your own idioms
- Graphic organizer to illustrate the meaning of the idioms
What is special about this activity?? Why do I like it so much??
- It is interactive and my students loved it! The game-board allows the students to visually see their progress as they are participating.
- The graphic organizer allows students to illustrate and explain the meanings of the idioms.
- The idiom cards themselves can be paired with their definition.
- The poke cards are a great feature as well. I used them with the game board to initially introduce the idioms, but they can also be used independently to promote self-correction with students.
- The price of this activity is appealing as well. It can be found in her TPT store for only $2.00 at the following link:
