When we compare one thing with another of a different kind, e.g. a person with an animal, we use a simile.
Think of the members of your family and try to use a simile for each of them to write a poem. Remember to find the words that rhyme or sound similar.
e.g. My mum is as busy as a bee.
She always looks after my sister and me...
Sometimes my mum is as stubborn as a mule,
Every day she makes a new rule.
My dad is as strong as an ox,
He has holes in his socks.
In the morning I am as grumpy as a bear,
Because I don't know what to wear.
