Similes, Metaphors, & Alliteration Worksheets and Sorting Activity

Keep your students engaged as they practice identifying similes, metaphors, and alliteration within sentences! With this print-and-go worksheet and craftivity packet, your students will read the sentences on 20 superhero "shields". They identify whether the sentence is a simile (belonging to Sammy Simile), a metaphor (belonging to Missy Metaphor), or whether it contains alliteration (belonging to Alex Alliteration). When they finish the worksheets, they will sort the shields into groups and assemble the craftivity! The finished products make a unique bulletin board or fun school hallway display!

HERE'S WHAT YOU GET:

• TWO WORKSHEETS- Students read 20 sentences and determine whether it contains a simile, a metaphor, or alliteration. They write S, M, or A at the bottom of the shield.
• Answer keys for both worksheets
• CRAFTIVITY IMAGES- These two pages include the superhero images, definition stars, and title box
• Student-friendly instructions (with photos!!) that detail how to assemble the craftivity.
• THREE TEACHING POSTERS (one for each type of figurative language)- The posters explain the analogy of the superheroes, and explains how similes, metaphors, and alliteration can come and "rescue" a boring sentence by making it more interesting.
• INTERACTIVE NOTEBOOK ENTRY- Students glue these flaps into a notebook. Beneath each flap, they write a definition for the term and two of their own example sentence.
• Additional notes for the teacher with explanations on materials that need to be gathered and additional instructions.
