This Figurative Language KS2 lesson introduces your class to words and phrases that create imaginative and vivid descriptions in writing. Children will explore features such as similes, metaphors, personification and onomatopoeia, learning how figurative language helps authors paint pictures with words and make their writing more engaging and expressive for the reader.

 


Lesson 1: Figurative Language

In this fun lesson, your class will learn what figurative language is, identify some different types of this device, and use them to create their own effective sentences!

Together, your upper KS2 class will focus on exploring the effect of four different types of figurative language: similes, hyperbole, personification and onomatopoeia, before being challenged to create some examples of their own using given scenes as inspiration!

If you are looking for a lesson specifically on personification, you might be interested in our Personification KS2 Standalone Lesson Pack.
