Show and tell is an activity where individuals present to an audience an object, item, or story that they have personally chosen. There are alternative phrases that can be used instead of show and tell such as 'demo and tell', 'exhibit and narrate', 'present and share', 'display and describe', or 'showcase and explain'. These synonyms can be used interchangeably depending on the context, but they all emphasize the act of demonstrating something and providing verbal context. Regardless of which term you use, the aim is to engage the audience and convey a message or idea while showcasing a personal object or story.
