Device Builder

Can you build it? Pick the right frame and the best ending to build similes, metaphors, and personification about a picture in words. Play on your own or teach the whole class.
Purpose

Students practice building similes, metaphors, and personification word by word: first the frame, then the ending. Every wrong answer is built from a real reading trap.

How it works

Pick a grade and a way to play. Every item has two steps: Step 1 picks the frame that builds the device, and Step 2 picks the ending that finishes it. Work through three levels of harder devices.

Three questions

Before every answer, ask: Which device am I building? Does this frame fit it? Does this ending show the right thing?
