This teaching slides resource introduces antonyms as words that mean the opposite of another word. Clear examples and simple visuals, such as hot/cold, happy/sad, loud/quiet and in/out, show how opposite words help us compare things and show how something has changed.
The practice slides follow an I Do, We Do, You Do structure, moving from teacher modelling to guided and then independent practice. A “Move like an opposite!” game finishes the lesson by getting everyone up and showing opposites with their bodies.
What’s included:
Introductory slides on what antonyms are and why we use them
Example slides showing pairs of opposites with matching pictures
8 practice slides to find opposite words in sentences, answer multiple choice questions, match words in an opposite word sort and play a “Move like an opposite!” game
