Poetry Boom Cards includes 30 interactive, self-checking task cards that can be used to review, practice, or assess understanding of eight commonly-used poetic devices. These digital task cards are perfect for classroom use or for distance learning at home.

There are at least three Boom cards for each poetic device: one definition and at least two examples. The cards are presented in sequential order starting with the eight definition cards. Those will be followed by examples of figurative language for students to classify.

Poetic Devices Included

• Simile
• Rhyme
• Rhythm
• Metaphor
• Personification
• Onomatopoeia
• Alliteration
• Repetition

Audio Directions Option

There are two versions of Poetry Boom Cards included in this product, one with audio and one without audio. Both decks are similar, but the cards in the audio deck have a sound icon in the lower left corner that students can click if they want to hear the directions on the card read aloud.
