What do you call those...?

[JDY]

picture things that actually represent words, phrases or titles? You know...let's say the subject is Christmas Music and you have a picture of a knight with holes in him = "O' Holy Night" ....

What is the name of that type of picture?

Am I making sense?

pictograph?

 

[piratesmate]

DD says they're called "Hidden Meanings." At least that's what her challenge teacher called that type of word puzzle when they were doing 'Mind Stretchers' or 'Brain Teasers.'

 

[mudnuri]

DD's school calls them "read-o's"...dont know where they came up with that...must be part of the SFA program they are involved in.

I think it's called a Rebus. I'll have to check on that.

 

[faithinkarma]

A representation of words in the form of pictures or symbols, often presented as a puzzle.
