Simile Walk
Go on a simile walk and describe what you see! This is a great activity to get kids to think out of the box and improve their writing. Remember to use like or as.
Example:
That tree is as tall as a skyscraper.
That leaf is crunchy like a potato chip.
That rock is as smooth as satin.

I love this idea! I'm going to suggest we try it on our next hike later today. Thanks for sharing.
