3rd Grade ELA Test Prep Worksheets

FREE Figurative Language Bell Ringer Warm-Ups: Similes and Metaphors

This Figurative Language Bell Ringer Warm-Up is FREE and includes TWO WEEKS of warm-ups! You will find anchor charts, daily warm-up activities for similes and metaphors, an answer key, and instructions and links for using this file in Google Slides.

DAILY Figurative Language includes two weeks of no prep printable activities, two reference pages related to metaphors and similes, and an answer key.

This free figurative language product came out of a larger figurative language product that is designed for an entire year that can also be used at any point in the year because of the layout (each figure of speech shows up once every eight weeks and then repeats until the final 14 weeks, where figures of speech are combined).

The paid figurative language product includes 190 days (38 weeks) of figurative language activities. It is a NO PREP packet that is designed to print and use immediately as a warm-up, homework, or an early finisher activity.

Like the freebie, each figurative language activity is designed to last 3-6 minutes. The product is common core aligned for 3rd-6th grade and will develop your student's figurative language skills!

The paid product includes metaphors, similes, idioms, hyperboles, proverbs and adages, personification, alliteration, and onomatopoeia.

NOTE: THIS FILE NOW INCLUDES A DIGITAL DISTANCE LEARNING OPTION!

As of 6/9/20, this product includes a digital option (as well as the no prep printable option). The digital portion instructions appear at the end of the packet.

Technology Requirements:
