Alright, are you familiar with these words?
They are the common types of Figures of Speech.

B. Developmental Activities
A. Presentation
Figures Of Speech- are expressions that make imaginative rather than literal
comparison or associations.
B. Discussion
The four most common types of figures of speech are:
1. Metaphor- a comparison of two unlike things that have some quality in
common.
EXAMPLES:
You are my sunshine
Life is a roller coaster.
 2. Simile- a comparison of two unlike things that have some quality in
common but it contains words such as like and as.

EXAMPLES:
He works like a machine.
Her hair is as dark as the night.
3. Personification- the giving of human qualities to an animal, object or
idea.
EXAMPLES:
The birds are singing.
The sun smiled at us.

4. Hyperbole- is an extravagant statement.

EXAMPLES:
I am so thirsty, I can drink one barrel of water.
I have been to all places looking for you.
C. Application
Group Games: Charade
Split the class into two groups. Each player would take turns to draw a
sentence or phrase from a small bag. The teams will be given a clue of what
figure of speech is trying to act out by their actor. After that, they would act out
what they had and the team members would guess the sentence or phrase. The
actor has a limited time (1-2minutes) to act out the sentence or phrase to his own
team. The first team to guess the sentence or phrase gets a point. The one with
the most points at the end of the game wins.
