Designed for an entire year, this packet can also be used at any point in the year because of the spiraling layout (each figure of speech shows up every eight weeks and then repeats until the final 14 weeks, where all the figures of speech are combined). This layout ensures that your students walk out of your class with a firm grasp of each figurative language element.
Used as a warm-up, homework, or an early finisher activity, each figurative language activity is designed to last 3-6 minutes and is standards-aligned for 3rd-6th grade.

Love this resource and use it every morning. The only thing I would like to see is in the certain areas such as the idiom section for them to have a some context around them. This would be very helpful for student never having heard the phrases before.

This resource helped me provide daily reinforcement of figurative language. It would be much more useful as a Digital resource. However, I introduce my gems to Kami which enables them to mark up PDFs.

This is a great way to go through figurative language with students and to keep them working with it. This is something I find students tend to forget unless it is continued to be revisited. This is simple to prep and easy to slip into our schedule.
