Figurative Language Flip Book
A flip book template for students to identify examples of figurative language.
Things are just more fun when they are in a flip book, right?! This is a great way for students to review figurative language! Simply put it into a reading center with a poem or text and watch students go!
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 their text, they can create their own using the context of what they read.
This resource also works great for blended and virtual learning! Use the drop-down menu to choose the Google Slides option for students to complete digitally. 🖥️
