Using an Antonyms Word List

A list of antonyms can be used in many ways in the homeschool classroom. Here are a few ideas:

• Create fill-in-the-blank worksheets.
• Make a game of it. Call out a word. The first to call out its antonym gets a point.
• Make flashcards. If you have nonreaders in the house-- or just want to give the cards visual appeal-- draw or glue photos on each card.
• Make up fun rhyming songs for the antonym pairs.
• Create matching worksheets.
• Divide the children into pairs, and have each pair act out a set of antonyms.
• Create stories and have children replace the underlined words with an antonym. For example: The train was going slow. If you have underlined the word slow, your student should come up with the word fast.
