Materials Monday - Synonym & Antonym Kites

Another Materials Monday is here! Unlike last week, today is bright and sunny (and 78 degrees, which is completely unheard of in Michigan in March).

Today I am giving you a language activity. It's a synonym and antonym activity.

Synonym Kites Example

The kite is located on the last page of both of the packets. Cut out the kites for each child and allow them to color it.

I have included both colored ties with the synonyms and antonyms as well as black and white ties. The colored ties should be used with children who need more visual support to match up their synonyms and antonyms. The black and white ties make the activity harder (and you can even let each student color their tie whatever color they want to after the match it up correctly).

All you have to do is cut black strips for the kite string and cut out the ties.

Instructions are located in both packets.

Here are some picture examples:

Blank Ties

Of course I included a download for blank ties. Just print them out and write your own synonyms, antonyms, or other activity on them! This is a very versatile activity. Have your students follow directions printed on the ties, say an artic word, or categorize. 

As always, I provided this activity to you for free. Please leave a comment or share this page with a friend if you decide to download the freebie! Thank you! :)
