Teaching figures of speech are occasionally necessary. This is a fun way to practice identifying onomatopoeia. REMEMBER:
Onomatopoeia is a figure of speech that employs a word, or occasionally, a grouping of words, that imitates, echoes, or suggests the object it is describing, such as "bang", "click", "fizz", "hush" or "buzz", or animal noises such as "moo", "quack" or "meow".
I. Match the animals or things below and the onomatopoeia you believe the sound they make suggests. There may be more than only one matching for each of the items. Try to figure out the "sound" the verbs may have to identify the corresponding noun.
1. Wind
2. River
3. Wings
4. Bird
5. Eagle
6. Geyser
( ) rumble
( ) swoosh
( ) flutter
( ) screech
( ) chirp
( ) spout
( ) blow
II. Watch the movie segment and check your answers:
