A noisy starter activity to help students revise poetic terms.

Students work in small groups and take turns to guess the term stuck on their forehead from the examples shouted out by the rest of their group. The featured poetic devices are:

  • similes
  • metaphors
  • alliteration
  • onomatopoeia.

The resource includes teaching instructions and a set of cards.
