Figurative Language I Have Who Has Game: Print and Digital Formats

This game contains 28 cards related to figurative language. This is a great activity if you are looking for an opportunity to engage your entire class! The cards include: similes, metaphors, alliteration, personification, onomatopoeias, hyperboles, and idioms.

For each topic, there are 2-3 cards with different examples of figurative language. Therefore, kids have to listen carefully, and they have to be able to differentiate between the various types of figurative language.

For example...

• One card asks "Who has an onomatopoeia in a sentence about a horse?"
  • The answer is "I have 'Clip-clop. Sam rode his horse along the path.' "

• Another card asks, "Who has an idiom with the word 'horses' in it?"
  • The answer is "I have 'Hold your horses.' "

• Another card asks, "Who has alliteration in a sentence about a horse?'
  • The answer is "I have 'The horse galloped gracefully through the green grass."

These cards always take a few extra minutes to get through the first time. I always time my students, and then let them go through them a second and possibly third time to try to beat their record!

It comes in two formats: print and digital. The traditional print format will allow you to print the cards and play the game with your entire class. This is a fun cooperative game if you are looking for an opportunity to engage your entire class!

The newer digital format is compatible with Google Slides. It is set up to be a game students can play individually or with a partner. Students drag each of the 28 cards so that they are presented in order.

This resource also contains an answer key (so the teacher can follow along easily) and teacher directions.

Here's what teachers like you had to say about playing this game with their students:

⭐️ Hillary B. said, "This was a great way to review figurative language concepts. The game was very engaging and the kids had a ball. It can be used as test prep as well."

⭐️ Victoria Z. said, "My students love these I Have; Who Has games. This one is particularly well done and challenging. I really like how the subject matter is similar for several of the terms so the students really have to think about their answers. It's great!"

⭐️ Acres of Activity said, "I loved this game for a few reasons. First, the students had to listen carefully as cards were read aloud. Secondly, my lower students worked on fluency as well. When we got back to the first card, we played another round and it went quicker and the fluency was much better."

⭐️ Melissa W. said, "My students go nuts for these activities. They are always wanting to improve their score."
