Metaphors are like fun little stories that help us understand big ideas. Imagine you’re learning about a storm, instead of just saying it’s loud, someone might say, 'The sky is angry!' That makes the storm feel more exciting and real to a child. It's like giving words superpowers so we can explain complicated things in simple ways.
Examples
- Mom says, 'You’re my sunshine!' That makes you feel happy and warm inside.
- He says, 'She's a rock.' That means she doesn’t move or change much.
