Here is a fun game to teach your child the difference between a simile and metaphor. I used it for my 5th grader for extra practice yesterday and she played three times. 🙂
The student can create their own teacher with features.
Then, they have to answer all 15 questions correctly to build a catapult that will fling the teacher at the end.
Fling the Teacher was a fun way to practice skills. They will want to keep going until they answer all questions correctly!
Recommended for 4th and 5th grade.
I love this game, specially when teaching metaphors and similes and the kids love it too. However, recently I have been trying to open it or even find it and it has been difficult if not impossible. What has changed? Every time I try to open any of the links, it takes me to something completely unrelated or it will not open at all.
