I loved using this to help my students practice their figurative language concepts. They found the worksheets engaging and loved that there was so much to do with them. The worksheets really look at all aspects of figurative language and ensured that my students go to interact with figurative language in various ways.

I had a student who needed review with figurative language, and this was a fun way to go over each type of figurative language device. It was a hit!

We used the Google Slides version. This resource was amazing. The class was very interested and engaged. The only struggle we had is that I used the resource toward the beginning of the year as one of their first activities on their Chromebooks. They struggled a little with the technology.
Lynette T. –
This was a great resource for my 5th grade ENL students. Figurative language isn’t always easy for my students to grasp but the way these activities were presented and set up was very helpful and my students enjoyed them.

My students loved using this resource. This gave my students extra practice with these concepts that can be confusing and are definitely more abstract. Thank you for sharing! We always love your creations in my classroom!

My student loved learning about the different types of figurative language. The worksheets were fun, kept her engaged, and she got to try her hand at creating her own. Great resource.
