What educators are saying
Description
FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE ESCAPE ROOM ACTIVITY: Help your students understand figurative language with this highly-engaging interactive escape room / break out activity! Students will have to have an understanding of the following terms to complete the tasks: metaphor, simile, alliteration, personification, onomatopoeia, hyperbole, oxymoron, pun, idiom, and allusion.
HOW IT WORKS
Students work in small groups and move about the classroom to five different stations to complete puzzles and activities related to figurative language
In the first station, students label different examples of figurative language and input those onto the answer sheet to reveal a mystery word.
In the second station, students do a close reading of the poem "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" by William Wordsworth and answer multiple-choice questions about figurative language. The answers reveal a code word!
In the third station, students assemble three puzzles which reveal writing topics. Students are required to write a sentence about that topic using one type of figurative language.
In the fourth station, students will properly label examples of figurative language famous quotes made in history. They match up the names of the famous people who said the quote with the type of figurative language to reveal a code word.
The final station has students decode an encryption based on hidden symbols they have to find throughout the game to reveal a quote!
