When you exaggerate, it’s like telling a story about a tiny ant and saying it was as big as a cat! You make something sound much bigger, smaller, better, or worse than it really is. It’s like when you catch a small fish and say it was a giant shark. Exaggerating is like using a magnifying glass on your words to make them seem more exciting or scary.

Think about a balloon. When you blow it up, it becomes bigger and bigger. Exaggerating is like blowing up a balloon with your words. You take a small truth and fill it with lots of air until it looks huge! But remember, if you blow too much, the balloon might pop, just like your story might not be true anymore.

Imagine a mountain made of ice cream. If you say you ate a mountain of ice cream, people might think you ate a lot more than you really did. Exaggerating can make things sound more fun or interesting, but it’s important to remember what’s real and what’s not. It’s like painting with bright colors to make a picture more interesting, but you don’t want to paint over the truth completely.
