Concepts presented in this product include alliteration, hyperbole, idioms, metaphors, similes, oxymoron, onomatopoeia, and personification. Learners will read real-life scenarios about school, as well as two choices to help them identify what type of figurative language is used in the sentences. After choosing the best answer, they use the included recording page to write their answer. These task cards are versatile in that you can use them indoors or outdoors.
