1. Personification

2. A House Awake The house awakes and stretches it chimneys to the sky.
The door opens to greet the passers by.
The curtains open and the windows peer out.
The china dances on the mantelpiece as the family start to shout.

3. What is the object being personified?
What is the meaning of the personification?

4. The wind sang her mournful song through the falling leaves.

5. The microwave timer told me it was time to turn my TV dinner.

6. The video camera observed the whole scene.

7. The strawberries seemed to sing, "Eat me first!"

8. The rain kissed my cheeks as it fell.

9. The daffodils nodded their yellow heads at the walkers.

10. The water beckoned invitingly to the hot swimmers.

11. The snow whispered as it fell to the ground during the early morning hours.

12. The china danced on the shelves during the earthquake.

13. The car engine coughed and sputtered when it started during the blizzard.

14. Can you think of your own example of personification for leaves falling to the ground from the tree?

16. The leaves danced to the ground
The leaves hopped off the tree
The leaves waved goodbye to the tree
The leaves cried out in pain as they fell from the tree
