Figurative Language Match Game

Figurative Language Match Game turns figurative language review into a fast paced, visually engaging arcade style challenge students actually want to play. Instead of completing another worksheet, students race to match sentence prompts with the correct figurative language type while managing the game meter and working toward victory. It gives students repeated practice with simile, metaphor, personification, hyperbole, idiom, and onomatopoeia in a format that feels active, interactive, and genuinely fun.

Designed for grades 5 through 8, this game is a great fit for ELA centers, stations, partner work, early finishers, review days, or independent practice. The game includes a larger sentence bank to cut down on repetition, clear visual feedback, and a polished classroom friendly design that keeps students focused on the skill. It is easy to use, highly engaging, and a great way to make figurative language review feel fresh.
