Tips for Teaching Opposite Words With This PowerPoint
This PowerPoint works well either at the start of a unit to check students’ existing knowledge or at the end as a review activity. Each slide shows one word with a picture while hiding its opposite. Students must guess the missing word. For example, when they see up with a picture of a boy going up an escalator, they should guess down.
After students make their guess, click to reveal the opposite word. Practice saying the opposite words together as a class by asking students to repeat after you several times.
The opposite word pairs in this PowerPoint include: up/down, dirty/clean, strong/weak, hot/cold, heavy/light, noisy/quiet, light/dark, bad/good, soft/hard, and empty/full.
