Summer Personification

May the summer sun smile upon you as you complete this personification worksheet! Students will read three sentences that personify nonhuman objects. Writers are asked to underline the example of personification, explain its figurative meaning, then draw a picture to reflect the literal meaning.

Designed for a fourth-, fifth-, and sixth-grade curriculum, this activity will familiarize learners with the usage and impact of personification. By identifying both the figurative meaning from the literal meaning, students will learn how personification can bring additional detail and variety to writing. Each type of figurative language can add something unique to students’ writing, and personification is no different!
