More Info - Antonyms & Synonyms Card Game

 

Devised by a primary-school teacher and dyslexia specialist this series of card games is ideal to help you learn some of the trickier aspects of English grammar, many of which pose a challenge even to adults!

Easy for small groups or a pair of children to play, this card game uses fun illustrations to teach words with the same or opposite meanings.

Play the game by dealing out five cards to each player and using a pick up and discard method to find pairs of cards (shown on the How to play card) or spread the cards out to find a pair or play snap.

This game has the added extra that two types of pairs can be made:

Find the antonyms (opposites) e.g. wealthy / poor and find the synonyms e.g. difficult / hard, sad / miserable.

Play using both types or just the one - whichever you choose!

Most of all just have fun with these colourful, high quality cards and if you are looking for an accessory to the game look at our range of booklets to accompany the series (e.g. A Guide to Antonyms & Synonyms) which include the list of pairs from the cards plus an extra 25 more pairs of words.
