Hold The Phone - An Idiom Game

 


                                                




Hold The Phone - An Idiom game is the first post in the Play And Learn Series, which will feature free games across educational websites. These games are hand picked for our children.

Now let's get started on our first game in this series - Hold the phone!


Teaching idioms is very essential component of the social emotional learning for our children on the spectrum. This amazing game not only teaches idioms but also introduces emojis to our children, an important part of today's social interaction. Each session has six idioms.

Third, once all the six idioms in the session are completed, they have to choose the correct idiom for the given sentence from the multiple choices given. A very comprehensive approach, isn't it ?  Since a picture is worth a thousand words ( couldn't stop myself from using an idiom 😊) take a look:
