Figurative Language Sorting Activity: Over 200 Cards Figures of Speech Review

This differentiated activity for figurative language includes hyperboles, metaphors, similes, puns, proverbs/adages, idioms, onomatopoeia, personification, and alliteration. This figurative language sort is a great way to review types of figurative language with your students.

There are over 200 figures of speech that can be categorized in each area. Created for 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th grade, this activity is perfect for individuals, pairs, small groups, or the whole class.

DIFFERENTIATION:

• There are full-color cards and category toppers for students new to figures of speech (or ESL students learning the language). Each figure of speech is color-coded (all idioms are green, for example).
• The black and white cards and category toppers are designed for students who are familiar with figures of speech but need practice.
• The answer sheets are also differentiated.

You can choose to:

• allow students to do the activity without an answer sheet
• use the answer sheet that simply requires students to write the number of each figure of speech next to the correct category
• use the answer sheet that also requires students to provide evidence for their choice

IDEAS FOR USE:

• use as a test review

• use as a game- groups work to complete the activity first (with the highest accuracy)

• use as an introduction for each figure of speech (the color-coded set)

• use as an evaluation

• use during stations on a bulletin board or whiteboard

• use as a catalyst for a class discussion on figures of speech

• use as a review at the beginning of the year for students who have been exposed to figurative language

This English Second Language ESL ELL EAL resource helps to practice reading basic personal information. This low prep resource adds problem solving and movement into a second language classroom.

Explanation:

The "Puzzle Street Gift Box Mix-Up" involves students in a scavenger hunt where they explore 10 centers, decipher clues, and unravel the mystery of a delivery mishap. Each card contains personal information about a family on Puzzle Street and poses a question. The catch? The answer lies on another card. Students embark on a scavenger hunt, moving from one station to another to gather clues about each family and solve the puzzle. Place cards on the walls or scatter on tables around the room. Students must visit and read each card in order to answer the questions.
