Overview:

An Uno-style card game designed to help reinforce figurative language concepts such as similes, metaphors, and personification. Suitable for middle and upper-year students.

Learning Objectives:

  • Recognise and understand different types of figurative language (similes, metaphors, and personification).
  • Strengthen comprehension and application of figurative language in writing.
  • Encourage teamwork and strategic thinking through gameplay.

How the Activity Works:

Players take turns matching figurative language cards (e.g., simile, metaphor, personification) to cards in play based on the theme or type of figurative language. The first player to run out of cards wins. The game can be printed and laminated for durability, making it a long-lasting resource that reinforces figurative language in a fun, interactive setting.
