About this resource
Teach personification in Years 3 to 6, from spotting it to writing it, with a print-and-go worksheet set.
This 25-page printable set includes 14 worksheets that take students from finding the thing and its human action to writing their own personification poem. Students spot personification, explain what it really means, read it in a poem and a story, then use it in their own writing.
Full answer keys and teacher notes are included, along with extras for the rest of your figurative language unit: posters, sorting cards, a partner game and exit tickets.
