Imagery, Metaphor, simile and visual vocabulary in a fun task to get to know each other

This is a lesson that I have run so many times and refined, it can be run with any year group in juniors just adapt it to suit.It makes a great"Let’s get to know one another" intro/task as the teacher has to"GO First" and discuss their own characteristics and personality traits before the class do.Basically the task uses imagery and language , specifically Metaphor and Simile to create an imaginary burger, it can be other things , a cake , a sandwich but edible options seem to be popular, and the ingredients are used to show who you are or aspects of who you are , likes , dislikes, hobbies, appearance or just about anything really.The fun part is mutual sharing and the ingenious solutions and ingredients the pupils come up with.Whilst the class are at the task it is good to share clever and innovative ideas and also get up on that display board and create a large but empty central burger for each"finisher" to select a filling of their own burger to add to the collective class burger, yours in their too please! Range the individual works around the main piece and discuss various things , commonalities , differences , surprises etc. Have fun with this one , the class will love it , after all everyone likes talking about themselves!
