Figurative Language Sort (Print and Digital)

Figurative language sort board, cards and recording sheet. This sorting activity is intended for use at a literacy center. It now also contains a digital Google Slide option!

How does this work?

The student places the six category cards on the marked spots. Next, they place the appropriate definition cards under the category cards. Then, they sort the 18 numbered cards placing them under the appropriate category. Lastly, students complete a recording sheet indicating the types of figurative language found.

The types of figurative language included are:

✔ Personification

✔ Hyperbole

✔ Alliteration

✔ Simile

✔ Metaphor

✔ Idiom

Please take a look at the preview above to see this resource in more detail.

Please note: I added the online option due to teacher requests. The sort is all on ONE Google Slide. If your students are working on very small screen devices then the paper option will likely be a better fit for your class.
