Literary Elements Secret Picture Puzzle Tiles Literary Devices Activity

Looking for a great literary elements activity that students enjoy? This set of 10 secret picture puzzles covers a vast list of literary terms and literary devices (nearly 100 in all!). They're surprisingly low prep for how much they teach about literary devices. Students cut the pieces apart and match the meaning or example to the literary device or story element. When they do it correctly, they make a completed picture. Can you say "self-checking?" Do your students love secret picture tiles yet? They're not just for younger students! This set goes all the way through AP level! That makes these perfect for differentiation.

These Literary Elements Secret Picture Tile Puzzles are:

✅ self-checking (Students can tell right away if they're correct!)
✅ flexible (assign one, some, or all; have students color or not, and more!)
✅ surprisingly challenging (It's amazing how difficult the advanced puzzles are!)

Of course, they're also fun and a great way to learn and practice literary devices and terms!

Be sure to watch the video preview to see how they work!

Each of the ten puzzles is identified by topic ("Conflict" or "Advanced Literary Element" or "Poetry", for example).
