How to Use This Pack

Six pages about opposites. Pages 1 and 4 show two pictures of one thing, a big dog and a little dog, and children circle the one that shows the word. Pages 2 and 5 are draw-a-line matches between opposite words, and pages 3 and 6 ask for a word's opposite from three.

In the Classroom

Act out each pair first: stand up tall, then crouch down small; walk fast, then slow. Read each word aloud for kindergarten and let children say its opposite before they circle.

At Home

Play "say the opposite" in the car or at dinner: you say hot, your child says cold. Then switch, and let your child try to stump you.

Tips for Success

  • Act out each pair
  • Say the word, then its opposite
  • Some words have more than one opposite: big and little, big and small
  • Check the answer key
