Are you looking for a fun way to teach students similes? Simile monsters are an easy, exciting way to get your students to practice figurative language in 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th grade classrooms.

What have we been up to? I love that Kacey over at…

It has a catchy little tune and it uses drawings and simile examples from kids their age. After it was over we talked about the ones they remembered and I told them they would draw one of their own. As they worked we listened to it again. One, because they begged me to but two because I wanted the ones that couldn't come up with anything to…
