This teaching slides resource introduces synonyms as words that have the same or similar meaning. Clear examples and simple visuals, such as big/large, unhappy/sad, small/tiny and neat/tidy, show how synonyms help us choose the best word and make our writing clearer and more interesting.
The practice slides follow an I Do, We Do, You Do structure, moving from teacher modelling to guided and then independent practice. A “Say the same meaning!” game finishes the lesson with quick-fire practice coming up with synonyms out loud.
What’s included:
Introductory slides on what synonyms are and why we use them
Example slides showing pairs of synonyms with matching pictures
8 practice slides to find synonyms in sentences, answer multiple choice questions, match words in a synonym word sort and play a “Say the same meaning!” game
