BUNDLE: Figurative Language Picture Packs

Similes, metaphors, personification, and idioms are fun to teach with this NO-PREP BUNDLE of illustrated (kid friendly) examples of figurative language. The examples are written in complete (and meaningful) sentences, so there is plenty of context and picture support. This resource also makes a terrific introduction for teaching figurative language to English language learners (ELL) or students who simply need a strong visual for text support.

This BUNDLE includes ALL Figurative Language Picture Packs:

• Metaphor Picture Pack
• Simile Picture Pack
• Personification Picture Pack
• Idiom Picture Pack

Each Figurative Language Picture Pack contains 50 pages of kid-friendly examples of similes, metaphors, personification and idioms.

Why do kids need to see LOTS of examples of similes, metaphors, personification & idioms?

Because kids need to recognize figurative language before they can incorporate it into their own writing.

More ideas for using the Figurative Language Picture Packs:

• give a targeted mini-lesson to introduce different types of figurative language.
• give a targeted mini-lesson about the difference between literal & figurative language.
• give a targeted mini-lesson about how to recognize figurative language.
• give a targeted mini-lesson about using picture clues & context clues for understanding figurative language.
• print as books of different types of figurative language.
• staple to a bulletin board for an instant display.
• Use as a NO-PREP distance learning activity or lesson.
• Use as an easy substitute activity.

The picture packs are great as an introduction to figurative language for all students, but they are especially helpful for English language learners (ELL) and also students who greatly benefit from a strong visual for text support.

Have fun teaching figurative language!
