forming sentences (group
work)
These adjective opposites activities help to increase students'
knowledge of adjectives and their opposites.
Writing Activity: writing
sentences from prompts,
story writing (pair work)
Start the activity by reading out each adjective on the worksheet
and eliciting examples of the adjective's meaning and possible
synonyms.
Next, divide the class into teams of four.
Focus
Give each student a copy of the worksheet.
Adjective opposites
Now, read an adjective at random from the worksheet.
Aim
To practice adjectives and
their opposites.
Preparation
Procedure
The first team to call out the opposite of the adjective scores a
point.
The winning team can then score an extra point by making an
appropriate sentence with the adjective opposite.
Make one copy of the
worksheet for each
student
All the students in the class then write down the adjective opposite
on their worksheet.
Level
The team with the most points at the end of the game wins.
Pre-intermediate (A2)
Working alone, students then write ten sentences using two
adjectives from the worksheet in each sentence, e.g. 'The pretty
girl drove a black sports car'.
Time
50 minutes
This continues until the worksheet is complete.
When the students have finished, divide them into pairs and have
the students exchange sentences.
Students read their partner's sentences, changing the adjectives
in the sentences to their opposites, e.g. 'The ugly girl drove a
white sports car'.
Finally, pairs create a short story using ten adjectives from the
worksheet and read them to the class.
