What educators are saying

My students were really engaged in this activity. They struggled to figure out a few, but in a way that challenged them just enough to not lose interest. I'm very happy with this resource and would recommend again!
My students who were struggling to make cultural references and understand symbols used these to practice. Sometimes, simple things can be hard to explain... but with these cards, the kids got it and it was a good warm-up exercise before we dove into our novel reading. Thank you!

Description

In this fun symbolism game, middle school students race to match common literary symbols with their traditional meanings.

Symbols have appeared throughout literature for thousands of years. Students will understand classic literature (and modern texts) much more fully if they can recognize traditional symbols and their meanings. And as we all know, understanding these conventional symbols leads to more advanced analysis of the literature they read! This matching activity gives students the opportunity to review traditional symbolism as students race to match symbols and meanings with their friends.

This resource includes the following:

✅ Teacher instructions to get you started

✅ 15 Traditional symbol cards

✅ 15 Meaning cards

✅ An answer key for quick and easy assessment

Enjoy this quick and engaging review game!
