Read the Card
The cream card under the plaza holds one English sentence. Find the figurative language in that line.
Tap the Ramp
Tap the block whose label matches the device. The fox ollies to that ramp. A miss costs a life in Survival.

Read, Then Grind
The prompt card shows one English sentence. Ramps hold figurative-language terms. Tap the match and the fox ollies to that block.

Score That Moves
Hits award hundreds plus a streak bonus. A labeled Score plaque, flying +points, and a saved best stay on the plaza.
Figure Grind is a figurative-language matching game. A dusk skate plaza holds concrete ramps labeled with terms such as simile and metaphor. The player reads an English sentence on the prompt card, then taps the ramp that names the device. Correct taps land a grind and score. Wrong taps slip the board. The goal is to finish the plaza run with a high score.
Terms on the Board
Students see simile, metaphor, idiom, personification, alliteration, onomatopoeia, and hyperbole as tap targets, not a worksheet list.

Practice lines stay in English so the grammar examples stay intact. Buttons and labels follow the site locale.
Fast Feedback
A hit pops points and grows a streak. A miss shows the correct term right away.

No. The practice sentences stay in English. Buttons, hints, and score labels follow the site locale.
