Love using these to practice figurative language. Great mix of both defining and identifying fig lang as well as giving great examples as support.

I love how these activities come with multiple resources as well as options on how you want to do the scoot activities! I like to use the slides that define each concept as a graphic organizer for kids to hold onto. I also LOVE how examples of each type of figurative language are provided as well! And THANK YOU for including 2 scoot cards per sheet of paper instead of 4. It’s SO much easier for kids to read the cards when they are larger! I also love how questions are not all the same: kids have to carefully read what the question is asking.
I really love how a digital pixel art option is provided in addition to the coloring one. I have used both, and I love them! If I’m crunched for time, I have kids complete the scoot around the room, but then they go on their computers and open up the digital option, entering in their answers from the scoot cards on the digital spreadsheet. This way, they can see if they got any of the questions wrong, then go back and fix them.
My only issue with the digital version is that the spreadsheet does not include “A, B, C, and D” with the multiple-choice options. I haven’t found an easy way to fix this without ruining the entire pixel art. It doesn’t make the activity really difficult, but it would be nice if the multiple-choice letters were included in the dropdowns.
Otherwise, I love this resource!

I really liked this resource. It was a great way for students to practice/review their figurative language skills. I liked having this as an early finisher activity. It was also nice that it showed them their incorrect answers so they could self check before asking for help.

I love teaching and reviewing figurative language in my 5th-grade classroom. This was the perfect addition. It breaks up the boring worksheets by adding the coloring pixel art piece. The students love this, and it is zero prep for me!
