Practise identifying synonyms with a fun ice-cream themed sorting activity.
Sweeten Your Students’ Vocabulary With Synonyms Practice
We’re happy, elated and ecstatic that you’re covering synonyms with your students!
Through this activity, students will show they can relate words to their similar but not identical meanings.
Players take turns choosing a sundae piece and reading the word. They’ll then find a similar word on the game board sundae and cover the piece. Take turns choosing sundae pieces until all of the word sundaes are complete!
The words students will be matching synonyms to are:
- big
- said
- get
- small
Scaffolding + Extension Tips
Support students who need help understanding the concepts by referring to a parts of speech poster or anchor chart for help.
Challenge fast finishers who already understand the concept to write the words alphabetically on a separate piece of paper. Students can also practice using the synonyms in a sentence (orally or written, depending on proficiency).
