show and tell
Bring something special
Show and tell is a classroom activity where young children bring an object from home to display and discuss with classmates: For show and tell, Emma brought her grandmother's seashell collection.
The phrase extends to any presentation that combines visual display with explanation: The meeting was basically show and tell for the new product designs.
