Speech Suitcase: Synonyms & Antonyms

Today I’m starting a new series called Speech Suitcase. I will be sharing the things I use to teach and work on various language skills, in the hopes that it will help you.

For synonyms and antonyms, I start by using Stick A Synonym or Antonym because there are pictures. I created these specifically for introducing the concept so the kids could see similar pictures. We match the synonyms/antonyms and talk about why they go together.

From there, I move on to using my Bee-utiful Synonyms (free) and Bee-utiful Antonyms (which are perfect for this time of year).

I also frequently use my Flip & Clip: Synonyms/Antonyms. My students LOVE clipping the clothespins onto the right answer. 

I also love no prep worksheets for practice. I usually have a synonym/antonym page in my Ten For packets, so be sure to check those out (they’re free!).

I have synonyms/antonyms included in both my No Prep Language Pack: Birds (there’s also a cupcake version) and my STOP Sheets (which are great because the kids can track their own progress right on the sheet). 

For my older students, I’ve also really enjoyed using Rachel Lynette’s Antonym cards. She also has one for younger kids here.

What do you typically use to work on synonyms/antonyms? I’d love to hear! Tell me in the comments! Stay tuned for more speech suitcase blog posts!
