This figurative language activity includes hyperboles, metaphors, similes, puns, proverbs/adages, idioms, onomatopoeia, personification, and alliteration. There are over 200 figures of speech that can be categorized in each area. Created for 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th grade, this activity is perfect for individuals, pairs, small groups, or the whole class.
DIFFERENTIATION:
There are full-color cards and category toppers for students who are new to figures of speech (or for ESL students who are learning the language). Each figure of speech is color-coded (all idioms are green, for example).
The black and white notes and category toppers are designed for students who are familiar with figures of speech, but need practice.
The answer sheets are also differentiated. You can choose to:
- allow students to do the activity without an answer sheet
- use the answer sheet that simply requires students to write the number of each figure of speech next to the correct category
- use the answer sheet that also requires students to provide evidence for their choice
IDEAS FOR USE:
- Use as a test review
- Use as a game- groups work to complete the activity first (with the highest accuracy)
- Use as an introduction for each figure of speech (the color coded set)
- Use as an evaluation
- Use during stations on a bulletin board or whiteboard
- Use as a catalyst for a class discussion on figures of speech
- Use as a review at the beginning of the year for students who have been exposed to figurative language
