Hold Your Horses! A Figurative Language Game

Hoooooold your horses people! I've got the perfect product for you: a figurative language activity that focuses on idioms, metaphors, and similes!


There's a handy anchor chart that you can use with your students that give definitions of an idiom, simile, and metaphor. 


I've included 24 different idiom, simile, and metaphor cards! That's 72 cards in all! Mix all the cards together and have your students decide if the sentence(s) is an idiom, simile, or metaphor. Or, keep the cards separate, or mix together if you choose, and have your student explain the meaning of the figurative language being used. 




I've also included a two page game board. Simply roll the dice and move around the game board, collecting points as you go! 



And to keep track of those points, you can use these score sheets!
