What an Idiom™ is a fun way to learn the nuances of American English. The game cards for What an Idiom! ^™ are divided into four decks of 25 cards each. Each deck contains idioms related to a particular part of the body. Players have a enjoyable way of learning that “a hollow leg,” “a leg up,” and “cost and arm and a leg” may sound similar but have totally different meanings.

On one side of each card are pictures illustrating a figurative expression.  The pictures show both the literal meaning of the expression and an example of a situation in which a player might hear the saying.  Four questions about the saying, in order of increasing difficulty, appear on the reverse side of the card.

 What an Idiom™ can be fun and educational for anyone wanting to sharpen their skills in figurative language. Play this game at home, in ESL classes, or speech therapy sessions!

Ages 8 to adult.
