Description: 1. Thinking with Language: A Halloween Play on Words is a verbal reasoning and metacognitive language skills activity. The quiz game targets thinking about language to gain an understanding of the difference between the abstract and literal meaning of words and phrases. Figures of speech are important to literature and everyday conversation. They compare things to give greater meaning, add color and spark the imagination with visual imagery. The goal of these materials is to increase the ability to metacognitively interpret abstract intentions and determine implied meaning when it is used in context. Activities Included: Sentence Ambiguity - Interpret this sentence two ways! Word Ambiguities - Which word makes this sentence silly! Figurative Language - What does this mean? 2. Halloween Analogies is a Halloween themed verbal reasoning activity that targets the ability to understand and solve analogies. Analogies are used to explain ideas and thoughts by comparing two different elements and finding a shared relationship between them. They help in the development of logical reasoning skills by promoting a greater understanding of complex associations and the ability to visualize abstract concepts. The activities included encourage students to become active participants in the development of their own semantic networks by focusing on key critical thinking skills.
