It is almost Memorial Day and I'm sure many of you have picnics, BBQs, and more to attend this weekend! I purchased this adorable BBQ clip art a little while back and thought what better weekend to create an activity than this?! I have many students that struggle with explaining and understanding figurative language. I hope you find this activity exciting and useful!! The best part is, the graphics go perfectly with the upcoming summer season. Head over to my TpT store to grab this activity.
BBQ Figurative Language
This activity targets similes, metaphors, and idioms. There are 112 cards included with this set!!
Included: 40 similes, 32 metaphors, 40 idioms, BBQ mat page, blank page to add your own similes, metaphors, or idioms, and answer keys.
How to Play: Print and laminate all pages. Cut apart all individual cards and place face down on table or playing area. Each student receives a BBQ mat page where he/she stores BBQ items. Students will correctly explain the simile, metaphor, or idiom in order to collect the item. The first student to get one of each BBQ item is the winner! The included answer keys give possible explanations for each simile, metaphor, and idiom.
I hope you and your students have fun using this activity all summer long! Enjoy the rest of your Memorial Day weekend!!!

Perfect season for a barbeque. This activity looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI like to take my kids outside whenever possible! We have a great shaded picnic area - perfect for games, crafts etc.!
ReplyDeleteI plan on taking my kiddos outside as much as I can! Lots of scavenger hunts, outdoor crafts, that kind of thing. Fun!
ReplyDeleteI don't see students over the summer for therapy- however, I am likely to see them at sport activities, or around town. If I see them I plan to engage them in conversation about their summer (observing for progress on IEP goals)!
ReplyDeleteOur summer therapy will center around planting. We even got donations from a local family to grow some real vegetables!

I'm thinking some picnic activities would be fun!
ReplyDeleteI was going to do ocean activities but I may have to include this!
ReplyDeleteI like to take my students outside as much as possible to play games!
ReplyDeleteAt the end of the year, I print off directions to put together their own personal dirt cake with gummy worms. This has become a tradition in my speech room, so the kids ask about it every year! When they are dismissed, they say that this is the activity they will miss the most.
ReplyDeleteObviously we BBQ year round--would love to win this because there's not one family I work with who doesn't pulehu (grill)!
ReplyDeleteAnd the activities I would be doing: I have a great little toy from ages ago (Discovery Toys) has the grill, the food and the accessories. We'll have our own little backyard pulehu!
DeleteI'm going to take my kids outside and focus more on carryover activities
ReplyDeleteTaking the kids outside for some activities and also purchased some summer packets on TPT that I will use.
ReplyDeleteI'm not doing ESY this year, but our SLPs are planning fun activities, such as cooking. This activity would work great for them!
