Description
Transform your figurative-language review into a game-show event! This no-prep, interactive Jeopardy-style game is designed for Grades 3–6 and covers key literary devices such as similes, metaphors, idioms, personification, alliteration, and more. Students will eagerly participate as they select categories, earn points, and demonstrate understanding—all while you deliver alignment with standards and literacy goals.
✤ Perfect For:
- Whole-class review of figurative language strategies in upper-elementary grades
- Literacy centers or small-group competition to reinforce understanding of similes, metaphors, idioms, and other devices
- Test-prep sessions or end-of-unit wrap-ups where you want high engagement and student participation
- In-person, hybrid, or remote teaching environments (both PowerPoint & Google Slides included)
- Teachers who need a low-prep, high-impact resource to boost comprehension and literacy confidence
- DIFFERENTIATION! Most slides have a blue screen covering the multiple choice answers. The student must look at the question and answer on his own. OR, the teacher can just click the blue screen to show the answer choices.
