Description
Make figurative language meaningful with this Valentine’s Day–themed Boom Cards deck focused on similes and metaphors for Grades 4–5. Using a warm bakery setting filled with Valentine visuals, students learn how writers compare ideas to add meaning and emotion. The deck begins with a gentle introduction to figurative language before guiding students through identifying similes, identifying metaphors, sorting examples, and building their own figurative sentences. Each slide has a single, clear purpose, helping students focus on understanding meaning. This resource is ideal for February literacy lessons, but the skills transfer easily to year-round figurative language practice. Visual support is consistent and intentional, making it a strong choice for independent work, small groups, or whole-class instruction.
