This game is available free for download on Teachers Pay Teachers. It was created by Games 4 Gains. While it is intended for grades 3rd-6th, I have found it to be best for my 5th-9th graders.
Two of the things my students find most challenging, particularly my Deaf and Hard of Hearing students, is using context clues to determine the meaning of unfamiliar vocabulary and idioms. Figurative language in general is very challenging. This game is a fun and motivating way to practice these skills. And because it's a turn-taking activity, each target vocabulary word or idiom is likely to get multiple repetitions and therefore become more meaningful and more likely to be remembered.
