Similes - Ideas for Use...
- Print and laminate a set of the simile adjective starters and the simile noun endings - children match the simile adjective with the simile noun.
- Print out class copies of individual simile adjective starters - children make up their own noun ending.
- Print out individual copies of simile starters and simile endings - children cut and paste to match.
- Brainstorm and list different nouns to match each simile adjective starter - for example as hard as....nails, rocks, ice, concrete, steel etc.
- Make a list of Adjectives and Nouns from the similes - eg. cold ice, busy bee, warm toast, white snow, loud thunder etc...
- Use different adjectives and nouns from our word cards to make up similes - eg .. as enormous as a dinosaur..
- As an extension - try adding to the similes to make descriptive full sentences - great for written expression and poetry practise - eg 'The tower was as tall as a giant.', 'The clouds were as white as snow.' 'After my bath I felt as warm as toast'
- Just focus on one simile a week and add it to the literacy group activities each week.
