Are you looking for a hands-on activity to practise matching antonyms?
Read the word on each puzzle piece, find the piece with the opposite meaning, and join the two pieces together. Pictures on every piece give extra support.
This activity comes in two levels for easy differentiation. Level 1 uses everyday words such as happy/sad and up/down. Level 2 uses trickier vocabulary such as thrilled/miserable and ascending/descending. Both levels use matching pictures, so groups working at different levels can complete the activity side by side. It works well in literacy rotations, as an early finisher task or for small group work.
What’s included:
Level 1: 20 antonym puzzles using everyday words
Level 2: 20 antonym puzzles using trickier vocabulary
