8th Grade Similes, Metaphors and Idioms Worksheets

Ages 13-14 · Free previews · Print-ready PDFs

Written by Adi Ackerman, Head Teacher

Similes, metaphors and idioms are figures of speech that say more than their literal words. There are 3 sheets for 8th grade here, each with an answer key. Extended Metaphor Path Puzzle and Simile or Analogy Path Puzzle use a route through numbered boxes to check answers, and Word Layout Puzzles That Hide Common Phrases asks students to decode and explain 12 phrases. The sheets practice L.8.5 and L.8.5.A.

Frequently Asked Questions

A metaphor says one thing is another to create an image. An analogy explains how something works by walking through a comparison, such as computer memory compared to a desk.
