Four Corners | Figurative Language Game | No Prep | ELA | Writing | Poetry

By Perfectly Planned Designs

This Four Corners Game is a fun, no-prep activity you can use to review Figurative Language that your students will LOVE! They will love moving around the room as you click through the 40 examples of figurative language, such as hyperbole, metaphor, simile, and personification. I’ve found that although my students can tell me the definition of these terms, simile is the only one they can truly pick out in a text. As a result, their writing is filled with overused similes that need work! You will love this well-organized activity that allows students to test their knowledge, get exposure to high-quality examples, and even learn something new! This is an activity I use in my classroom every year during our narrative writing unit and I know your students will love it!

INCLUDED WITH YOUR PURCHASE:

  • 40 Examples of Figurative Language

  • 4 Printable Classroom Signs

  • Definition of Terms

  • Answer Key

STUDENT GUIDELINES FOR USING THIS RESOURCE

After reading each figurative language example on the board, move to the side of the room labeled “Metaphor,” “Simile,” “Hyperbole,” or “Personification.” Be prepared to defend your choices. You may disagree with your classmates’ opinions but do so respectfully. (I typically go over each example with students and discuss the impact of the words or phrases to uncover the deeper meaning. Ask questions such as, "what is being compared?" or "what can the reader visualize?")

*As an optional follow-up activity, use my No-Prep Figurative Language Short Passage Set resource to assess individual understanding, homework, or assessment!

REFLECTION:
The class can review the answers and comments as a whole group when the activity is complete. You’ll be surprised how much better they’ll get at figurative language after being exposed to some high-quality examples!

Roll a Monster Story Halloween Activity | Creative Narrative Writing | Editable

By KJ Inspired Resources

Bring out the Halloween spirit in your classroom with this Roll a Monster Story resource. Perfect for creative writing activities, students roll dice to craft unique stories while meeting writing standards. This resource is ideal for 5th-12th grade!

Save 30% with these bundles...

Holidays and Seasonal Activities Bundle

Holidays Activity Bundle

Fall Ultimate Bundle

Halloween Bundle

What's Included

  • Pre-Filled Roll a Monster Story Board
  • Editable Roll a Monster Story Board
  • Story Planning Board
  • Vocabulary Page
  • Writing Pages
  • Editable Rubric in Google Sheets

Directions

Step 1: Roll the Dice

Begin by rolling the dice to determine the key components of your story. Use the chart below to match each dice roll to the corresponding element for your story. Record your results:

  1. Monster Type (e.g., Alien, Ghost, Dragon, etc.)
  2. Monster Appearance (e.g., Glowing red eyes, Slimy, Multiple heads, etc.)
  3. Monster Power (e.g., Telepathy, Fire-breathing, etc.)
  4. Monster Weakness (e.g., Bright light, Water, etc.)
  5. Story Setting (e.g., Haunted mansion, Spaceship, Ancient cave, etc.)
  6. Plot Twist (e.g., The monster is friendly, The monster needs help, etc.)

After rolling, students will have a list of elements to include in their story.

Step 2: Plan The Story

Now that students have their monster’s characteristics, setting, and plot twist, they will take a moment to brainstorm how these elements will work together in your narrative. Students should think about:

  • How does the setting affect the story's tone or mood?
  • What motivates your monster? What challenges will the monster face?
  • How can the plot twist surprise or change the direction of the story?

Create a brief outline, if needed, to help organize your ideas.

Step 3: Write The Story

Using the elements from their dice rolls, students begin writing their story. They should make sure their narrative has a clear beginning, middle, and end. As they write, students will focus on the following:

  • Incorporate all of the rolled elements into the story in a meaningful way. For example, if your monster has a weakness to water, this should play an important role in the plot.
  • Use vivid descriptions to bring your monster, setting, and events to life.
  • Develop your characters (including the monster!) by giving them motivations and emotions that will drive the story.
  • Remember the plot twist—use it to surprise your reader and add depth to your story.

Figurative Language Passages and Four Corners Game | Close Reading | Mega BUNDLE

By Perfectly Planned Designs

This Figurative Language Short Passage BUNDLE includes every passage set in my shop with 3 close reading and writing worksheets each! ***Answer Keys Included!

Figurative Language Short Passage Sets are a no-prep, printable close reading activity that's perfect for middle school and high school. Each passage has between 206-226 words and is filled with between 14-19 examples of figurative language, such as hyperbole, metaphor, simile, and personification. I’ve found that although my students can tell me the definition of these terms, simile is the only one they can truly pick out in a text. As a result, their writing is filled with overused similes that need work! These figurative language passage sets are rigorous, use higher-level words and phrases, and in addition to merely identifying the different types, students will be asked to discuss the impact it has on the reader, as they’re asked to do on standardized testing. Simply print and go! There is truly no preparation needed, which is why this set is perfect to leave for sub plans, bell ringers, homework, test prep, review or assessment!

Four Corners Figurative Language Activity is a fun whole-group game or review activity. Your students will love moving around the room as you click through the 40 examples of figurative language, such as hyperbole, metaphor, simile, and personification. You will love this well-organized activity that allows students to test their knowledge, get exposure to high-quality examples, and even learn something new!
