Understand Metaphors Comparing Activity (1)

With this worksheet on metaphors, students will have the chance to confirm which two items are being compared. While they may recognize simple metaphors, this task will be more challenging because they'll have to identify which items relate to each other in the metaphor. Remind students to read the sentences multiple times and confirm that they've put forward their best effort. Review together as a whole class to ensure students have the correct information before moving on to the next metaphor task! Check out our other metaphor worksheets here.
