Antonyms and Synonyms Task Cards

Checking your access...

Are you looking for a hands-on way to build vocabulary with synonyms and antonyms?

Each card has a sentence with one word in bold, which is replaced with either a synonym or an antonym, as shown at the top of the card. The new sentence is written on the recording template, with the chosen word highlighted. It’s a simple way to show how word choice can keep or completely change the meaning of a sentence.

Possible answer cards are included, with a suggested replacement word shown in each sentence, for quick self-checking or marking. The cards suit literacy rotations, early finisher tasks, small group work or a whole-class Scoot game.

What’s included:

  • 52 synonym and antonym task cards (26 each), in colour and black & white

  • Possible answer cards

  • Recording templates (2 versions)
