Understanding Metaphors Worksheet (1)

This one-page downloadable on metaphors is a wonderful way to get students to identify which items are being compared. Students will read eight sentences and then make their selections. This is an important part of understanding metaphors because students must make connections, think abstractly, and digest a relatedness between two items that may not be overtly expressed. We love this for aiding students' interpretation and context clue skills as well. Enjoy this printable PDF on metaphors with your elementary school learners today!
