Simile and Metaphor Loop Cards

These can be used in several ways:

• As a straightforward loop game with the whole class – time it to try to beat personal best times.
• A loop game within a smaller group where children have multiple cards each.
• Cut the cards in half and make a memory matching game
• Children can write their own shorter game or memory game. (Blanks included at the end.)
