Antonyms

The children learned about Antonyms in the last term, graduating from their list of idioms in their wordbank books. Worksheets were given out to them and most of them are able to list antonyms with ease and confidence. Just a recap here, antonyms are words with opposite meanings. The words, 'happy' and 'sad' are antonyms.

Here are some example practices:

1. I felt rich because I got 20 dollars
for my birthday!

A. wealthy

B. happy

C. poor

2. Debbie wiggled because the chair
was too hard.
