Match the metaphor to the picture: find the direct comparison!

3rd Grade - English Language Arts - Visual and Multimedia Literacy

About This Skill

On Iqleel, third-grade students can practice identifying creative comparisons to learn how metaphors work. They will discover that a metaphor compares two unlike things directly (e.g., 'The classroom was a zoo') without using 'like' or 'as'. By matching metaphors to the correct pictures, students move beyond literal thinking to interpret author's craft and boost their reading comprehension.
