Simile game is a teaching game used to enrich the students’ vocabulary (especially adjectives) and to make the students accustomed to using “comparative sentences,” sentences for comparing things. In this game, the students use the words “Like” and “as.”

Step 1

Students ask each other to identify certain objects around.

Step 2

Two students start to identify two similar objects.

Step 3

Finally, the other makes a complete simile.

Examples:

1. As old as

• Student A identifies that his/ her grandfather is old (My grandfather is old).
• Student B also identifies that the hill is old too (The hill is old too).
• Student C makes a complete sentence of simile:

My grandfather is as old as the hill.

2. As strong as

• Student A : Alex is strong.
• Student B : The bull is strong.
• Student C : Alex is as strong as bull.

3. Is/ are like ……

• Student A : He is tall
• Student B : His father is also tall
• Student : He is like his father

Teachers may use this game in group of students. Each group includes three students. Every group in class compete each other by making as many simile as they can.
