This personification boom cards deck includes:
60 task cards (5 personification instructional pages and 54 personification task cards with a variety of questions) with the following tasks for each set of cards:
- Task cards 7-42 have your students first identify the object being personified in the sentence. Then they have to choose the word that is personifying that object.
- Task cards 43-52 are multiple-choice answers that have your students figure out the meaning of the personified sentence.
- Task cards 53-60 are drag and drop answers, where your students will choose a trait, quality or action that best personifies the sentence.
This resource is completely digital. As students answer each question, they will receive immediate feedback. This helps students practice independent learning while strengthening skills.
