Mixed Practice: Similes and Metaphors #1

Two key forms of figurative language are similes and metaphors, but can you tell the difference between them? In this worksheet, Mixed Practice: Similes and Metaphors #1, learners will read sentences and circle the two words being compared in each one. They’ll then determine which of the sentences use similes and which use metaphors, writing out the literal meanings below. Designed for fifth and sixth graders, this worksheet can be followed by Mixed Practice: Similes and Metaphors #2.
