Figurative Language & Literary Devices Worksheets | Years 3–6

Move students from spotting figurative language to understanding how it shapes meaning, and then using it in their own writing. Students meet each device inside a complete text, think about its effect, then try it themselves.

The Routine

Learn It → Look For It → Think About It → Try It

  • Learn It: a student-friendly definition with examples
  • Look For It: a short text where students highlight the device in context
  • Think About It: three questions moving from identifying, to meaning, to effect
  • Try It: a black-and-white visual prompt for a short piece of writing

9 Devices, 2 Worksheets Each

  • Simile
  • Metaphor
  • Personification
  • Alliteration
  • Onomatopoeia
  • Hyperbole
  • Idiom
  • Symbolism
  • Imagery

The second worksheet for each device uses a different text or context, across narrative, poetry and persuasive texts.
