Things are just more fun when they flip, right?! This flip book is a great way for students to review figurative language!

Figurative Language Literacy Group Activity

Use this flip book as an activity during literacy groups.

• Print a front cover page and examples page for each student.
• Have students cut along the dotted lines of the cover page and glue the cover to the examples page.
• Provide students with example texts to read. Our What’s Buzzing Magazines are a great source!
• Have students find each type of figurative language and write examples.

Since not all texts have every type of figurative language, you can create a challenge for your students! If they can’t identify the type of figurative language in the texts provided, have them write their own as a suggested addition.

Types of Figurative Language

The figurative language that students will need to find include:

• a simile
• a metaphor
• onomatopoeia
• alliteration
• hyperbole
• personification.
