Figurative Language Flowers

By

Happy first Sunday of Spring everyone!  I am excited to share my newest Figurative Language Craftivity with you all and to have a lucky follower win one! {Keep reading to see how you can win one!}

This is the next in my soon to be Figurative Language Craftivity Set for the Year. I think continually reinforcing figurative language has really helped my students identify and recognize different Figurative Language tools in speech and in their books.  There writing has become so much richer and more colorful!

This figurative language craftivity is little different than my Figurative Language Hearts and Shamrocks because it is not 3d. Instead, I will have each student randomly select a figurative language from a mixed bag and they will create one flower for a class garden for our hallway.

 To start the activity off, as a class we will brainstorm everything that we can think about that relates to spring.

I will review the different Figurative Language devices with these posters

After each student selects their figurative language from my mixed bag, they will create  4 different Spring Sentences using the figurative language that they chose.

 They will be asked to define their Figurative Language in their own words and write it on a leaf…

which they will attach to a stem that they will write their name on.

They color and assemble and create a beautiful finished product that showcases their mastery of these figurative language techniques!

I can’t wait to see my student’s Figurative Language Flowers in a beautiful hallway display. Their wonderfully written words will be a beautiful garden!
