Sweet Similes

This week we had some yummy fun exploring similes!  Thanks to a fun freebie from Amy Lemons, we created ice cream similes.

I introduced the concept with a BrainPopJr. video and then I gave my kiddos some ice cream to enjoy. BrainPopJr has a great ice cream worksheet that goes great with this lesson as well but we used the freebie from Amy Lemons because there are two versions and I love offering differentiation for my kiddos. 

While they ate, we brainstormed similes to describe the ice cream.  They did a great job, and loved creating their own ice cream cones to show off their sweet similes!

This simile lesson made my kiddos as happy as ants at a picnic and their ice cream cone creations turned out as cute as pie!

 Next we will be exploring alliteration!  Come back soon to check out our cute alliteration creations.
