Personification Worksheets

The school bus groaned as it lumbered around the corner. If this brings to mind a person who moves with effort, this is effective personification! Giving an inanimate school bus the human quality of groaning creates a vivid and sensory image within the reader. Personification resonates with students and helps them connect emotionally and personally to a text. To build appreciation and understanding, use these elementary through high school unit activities, which include reading comprehension, multiple choice, and identifying and explaining animal, object, and concept examples.
