Activity #1 Picture
Analogies
Gay Miller @ Book Units Teacher Page | 4
I love to begin my study of analogies for older students with pictures. You need enough pictures for each student in the class to have one picture.
Gay Miller @ Book Units Teacher Page | 5
Step 1 ~ Tell the students that when the signal is given, they are to move around the room and find a picture that is related to the one they are holding. They are to stand with the person holding the related pictures until everyone is in pairs.
Step 2 ~ Once students are in pairs, a second signal will be given. Students are to move in pairs around the room until they find a related pair.
Step 3 ~ Once students are in groups of four, they must discuss among themselves the relationship of the pictures they hold.
Step 4 ~ Students share their analogy grouping with the class and tell the relationship among the four pictures.
I made a set of analogy pictures like the example set below and laminated them for repeated use. I use these pictures each year as an introductory activity to my analogy unit. The students enjoy the activity, and they really begin to understand the concept of analogies. [For lower grades, you may want to stick with synonyms and antonyms.] For fifth grade up, you will want to add additional word relationships such as:
hammer: nails :: screwdriver : screws (tool)
ice : fire :: city : country (antonyms)
Model T : Corvette :: baby : adult (age)
day : night :: winter : summer (times)
collie : dog :: motorcycle : vehicle (classification)
wet floor : fall :: texting while driving : car crash (cause/effect)
study : good grades :: tickle : laugh (action/result)

Activity #3 Foldable
Organizers
Gay Miller @ Book Units Teacher Page | 9
Analogy Organizers Print the organizer onto colored paper.
Students will fill in the missing information in the blank spaces.
To make the organizer, trim around the four edges on the lines indicated. Fold the page vertically on the dotted lines. Cut on the lines indicated on the right
and left sides of the organizer, up to the fold, so that the organizer will open one flap at a time.
All three organizers will fit on
one page.

Round About Activity Preparation before the Activity
Duplicate the “Round About Game Activity Recording Sheet” for each
student to record their answers during this activity.

Cut the cards on the lines.
Prepare a 10 minute timer.
Class Preparation
Hand out student materials:
o clipboards (optional)
o copy of the answer response sheets
Tape one card to each student’s back.
Instructions
You will be given a sheet with analogies that are missing the last word in the second pair. You must analyze the relationship of the first pair of words, and then find the final missing word on a classmate’s back. Next to the corresponding number on your recording sheet, write the answer. Even if you know a word that will make sense in the analogy, you must find the exact word on a classmate’s back before writing it on your sheet.
When the timer stops after ten minutes, return to your seat.
The answers will be checked to determine how many correct responses you identified.
