In this "show and tell" activity, a child is describing an umbrella he brought in.

Show and tell (sometimes called show and share) is the practice of showing something to an audience and describing it to them, usually a toy or other children's-oriented item. In the United Kingdom, North America, New Zealand and Australia, it is a common classroom activity in early elementary school. It is used to teach young children about public speaking.[1] For example, a child will bring an item from home and will explain to the class why they chose that particular item, where they got it, and other relevant information.
