What’s Included • • • • • • Designed to meet these objectives: Language • Students will recognize synonyms & antonyms. • Students will build compound words. • Students will understand contractions. • Students will learn word meanings. These easy-to-play games are a great way to practice vocabulary concepts with the whole class! As students match up the answers on their cards with questions on other students’ cards, they get valuable practice with synonyms, antonyms, compound words, contractions, and word meanings. © 2008 Lakeshore (800) 428-4414 www.lakeshorelearning.com LL431 Ages 6+ Printed in China 35 synonym cards 35 antonym cards 35 compound word cards 35 contraction cards 35 word meaning cards Storage box with 5 dividers How to Play The 175 cards included in the set are divided evenly into 5 categories: synonyms, antonyms, compound words, contractions, and word meanings. Select which skill you will be working with, and remove the cards for that skill. Hand out one card to each student in class. If there are not 35 students in your class, some will get 2 cards. Choose a student to go first, and have her read the question on her card aloud. For example, in the antonym set, the first student might read the question, “Who has an antonym for small?” The student who has the card with the word “big” then reads that answer aloud: “I have big.” Then, he reads the question at the bottom of his card and the student with the corresponding word responds. 2 What’s Included • • • • • • Designed to meet these objectives: Language • Students will recognize synonyms & antonyms. • Students will build compound words. • Students will understand contractions. • Students will learn word meanings.

To keep the game moving at a quick pace, students all need to pay attention to every question that’s asked! Play continues in this fashion until all of the cards have been played. The game will end with the same student who started play. (In order to play the game correctly, all of the cards need to be played. Play can start with any card in the set.) NOTE: For the compound words set, students should only form compound words by adding the word on their card to the end of the previous word. Extension Activities • Use the cards as flash cards with your class. Read each question to your students and then have students share potential answers. There may be several acceptable answers. • For independent or small-group practice, give each student one card. Have them each create a question that can be answered by the answer on their card. For example, if the category is antonyms and the answer on their card is “I have easy,” students could write, “Who has an antonym for difficult?” or “Who has an antonym for hard?” 3 Meeting Individual Needs ELL Preteach unfamiliar words before you play the games. Use visual aids to help students become familiar with new words and distinguish between confusing word pairs. Let students play the game with partners so that they can help one another find the answers. Reteach/Extra Support Play with a small group of students, using a small group of selected cards. Students can play several rounds using the same cards, increasing their familiarity with the words. (You should choose the cards in advance to make sure that they are in the right sequence. With fewer cards, the game will not “wrap around” to the first card. You may choose to make your own card that answers the last question and wraps back around to the first.) Challenge Have students create their own wrap-around game by making cards themselves. Students can work on this in small groups, with partners, or individually.
