Description: These 26 task cards cover Similes & Metaphors. As with all Boom Cards in our store, the cards become progressively more challenging moving from identifying if the phrase is a simile or metaphor by to understanding the meaning of the figurative language as it is used within a sentence. Cards 1 & 2: Students select the definition of a simile and a metaphor. Card 3-10: Students choose whether the underlined phrase within the sentence is a simile or metaphor. Cards 11-18: Students select the two words that are being compared within the sentence. Cards 19-26: Students select the correct meaning of the simile or phrase found within the sentence. (These questions model standardized testing questions.)
