Description: It's easy to take everything people say at face-value. Although this is usually the case, people will sometimes use figurative phrases to express themselves, which can make things for us literal-thinkers confusing! The following deck will review the following: - What is figurative language? - What is literal language? - A simple way to tell the difference (silly versus serious) - How to troubleshoot a phrase when it's meaning is unclear (context, facial expressions, body language) Deck includes 9 multiple-choice questions. Can be used with elementary aged individuals, as well as older individuals with autism who struggle with literal thinking.
