How is personification different from a simile?

A simile compares two things with like or as. Personification does not compare. It simply describes a thing doing something only a person could do.

How can my child practice personification at home?

Pick an everyday object, like a backpack or a car, and ask how it would feel or act if it were a person. Then write one sentence about it.

Is there an answer key?

Yes. Both sheets have an answer key with the examples and sample meanings.

What age are personification worksheets worksheets for?

These are written for 5th Grade students, roughly ages 10-11. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.

Are these personification worksheets worksheets aligned to Common Core?

Yes. Each one shows the Common Core code it covers on its own page, so you can check the alignment yourself rather than taking our word for it.

Can I use these personification worksheets worksheets for homeschool?

Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a 5th Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
