Figurative Language Literary & Rhetorical Devices: The Million Pound Drop Game

A game whereby learners identify the correct literary device set up as a game of 'The Million Pound Drop'. Just like the TV programme, four answers appear followed by an example of either a simile, metaphor, pun etc. Learners move a 'prize' (I used a bag of sweets) to the correct answer. Any prize left over the wrong answer and the 'prize' 'drops'. I used four empty desks as the drop zones for the answers. Beforehand, I recapped the Literary and Rhetorical Devices with the learners to make sure and to raise awareness of each of them. Targeted at Year 9 ALN group and run during a intervention lesson.
