Give your students the chance to hone their skills with figurative language with this engaging yet rigorous Figurative Language Escape Room!

There is no wonder why escape rooms are so popular; they are highly engaging and encourage people to work together and think creatively in order to solve different puzzles... all while trying to beat the clock! This meticulously-crafted resource features all of the materials you need to conduct a full-length Figurative Language Escape Room. Planning an escape room may seem like quite the daunting task, but this product provides everything from the basics and set-up instructions to signs and answer keys so that yours runs smoothly from start to finish. The activity involves movement, energy, creative thinking and most of all, collaboration. All tasks are Language Arts skills-based so that with this fun lesson, learning is not sacrificed. Your students will be having so much fun that they won’t even realize the higher order thinking skills they are applying in the playing of this game!

How does it work?

The ghosts of William Shakespeare, Henry Longfellow, Emily Dickinson, and Gwendolyn Brooks have risen from the grave to lock your students inside your classroom. They are upset because they believe that students spend too much time on Tik-Tok and not enough time reading and writing poetry. In order to appease them, your students must show their expertise with figurative language.

• Euphemistically Speaking: In the first task, students will match up common euphemisms with their literal meanings. (For example: Golden years for old age, petite for short, hugging the toilet for throwing up)
• Christina's Dream: In the second task, students will perform a close reading of Christina Georgina Rossetti's My Dream and determine figurative language devices in the poem.
• Per-Sonnet-Ification: In the third task, students will read passages from Shakespeare's sonnets and determine the objects being personified in each.
• Word Search: In the fourth task, students will complete a word search of figurative language devices.
• Encrypted Message: In the final task, students must decode an encrypted message about poetry from the codes they collected along the way.

Product Includes:

• Escape Room Basics
• Detailed Day-Of Instructions
• Escape Room Print Checklist
• Student Teams Chart
• Materials for 5 Tasks: task signs, task instructions, and supplementary materials
• Opportunities for Differentiation
• Student Answer Sheet
• Teacher Answer Keys
• Escape Room Reflection for homework or in-class writing activity
• Code Word Reflection for homework or in-class writing activity

This escape room is suitable for middle and high school students and is ideal during your poetry unit, prior to state testing, or any time you're looking to switch it up in the classroom while maintaining rigor and standards.

Figurative Language Devices covered in this Escape Room: Simile, Metaphor, Oxymoron, Idiom, Euphemism, Allusion, Onomatopoeia, Personification, Hyperbole...
