Teaching Synonyms and Antonyms

Create a bulletin board or big banner with your students' help. Use the patterns on page 43 to make four different bulletin boards! Use the patterns to make templates for cutting out construction paper shapes. Write a different synonym on each yellow star and give one to each child. Youngsters write a synonym on stars and add them to the bulletin board or banner. All four ideas will work for synonyms or antonyms.

Skyful of Synonyms - use dark blue background paper, add a moon cut from paper, have children write words on yellow paper stars.

Scoops of Synonyms - write the caption on a big ice cream cone, have children write words on scoops of ice cream. Cut cones from brown construction paper and scoops of ice cream from paper in different light colors.

The Synonym Tree -- put a tree trunk with branches on a yellow or light blue background. Cut leaves from light green paper and have children write words on leaves and add them to the tree.

Synonym Shower -- Post a big umbrella on the bulletin board. Children write words on light blue raindrops!

For additional activities for these skills, see reproducible pages 42, 45 and 46.
