Introduction
These adjective opposites activities help to increase students' knowledge of adjectives and their opposites.
Procedure
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.
Give each student a copy of the worksheet.
Now, read an adjective at random from the worksheet.
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.
All the students in the class then write down the adjective opposite on their worksheet.
This continues until the worksheet is complete.
The team with the most points at the end of the game wins.
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'.
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.
