Figurative Language Gallery Walk Activity: YA & Children's Literature Edition

Identifying figurative language takes lots of practice! Here's a fun up-and-at-'em activity that helps students review seven kinds of figurative language using examples from popular YA and children's literature. This product includes 30 quick snippets that ask students to determine which type of literary device is being used.

This is great practice for recognizing examples of:

*Alliteration

*Hyperbole

*Idioms

*Metaphors

*Onomatopoeia

*Personification

*Similes

************************************************************************************************

What's Included?

*30 full-page task cards in a blackline format (black ink on white paper). Simply print cards onto your favorite colored paper or card stock, or mount on a colorful background. You can also laminate printed cards for years of use!

*Student recording sheet

*Figurative language review sheet (Definitions and examples are given for each of the seven featured types of figurative language.) This serves as a handy guide for those students who still need a little help.

*A second set of the SAME 30 cards with *hints* printed in RED! Perfect for differentiation or to scroll through as you check recording sheets as a class!

*Answer key

Whether you call it a gallery walk, scavenger hunt, or write the room, this ACTIVE activity is terrific practice for even the most reluctant students.

I hope this quick and easy review is just what you need to reinforce the important skill of recognizing figurative language!

Helpful hint: If you'd rather not have full-page cards, you may be able to print two cards per page simply by adjusting your printer settings. Depending on the type of printer you use, if you go to your print screen and select the "Page Size and Handling" option (or "Print Preferences" screen), you can choose how many slides you'd like to print per page. PLEASE NOTE: This option may not be available for all printers.
