Time Out
= a time for rest from one’s usual work
*For children, a “time out” is considered punishment where the child has to remain silent in a single spot.
*For sports, a “time out” stops the clock.
“Time out” can be used as a hand signal:
Ex: The team called a “time out,” to get some rest and talk about the next play.
Ex: After misbehaving during class, the boy had to sit in “time out” while the other children played outside.
