Fabulously Fun Figurative language Fridays!!!

October marked KES's Love of Literacy push for the school year. Each Friday in October, teachers will be dressing up to represent different examples of figurative language. This week we had representation of idioms (an expression, word, or phrase that has a figurative meaning that is comprehended in regard to a common use of that expression that is separate from the literal meaning or definition of the words of which it is made.); similes (a figure of speech that directly compares two different things, usually by employing the words "like", "as", or "than".); metaphors (literary figure of speech that uses an image, story or tangible thing to represent a less tangible thing or some intangible quality or idea); Onomatopoeia (refers to the property of such words. Common occurrences of onomatopoeias include animal noises, such as "oink" or "meow" or "roar".) and alliteration (the repetition of a particular sound in the first syllables of a series of words and/or phrases.) Look at the following pictures to see if you can come up with each one?
