Synonym Practice

Synonyms and antonyms can be tricky sometimes. Trying to remember what they are can be difficult. I always reminded my children that “anti” means against, so “antonym” means against or, in other words, opposite. Whereas the word “synonym” starts with the same letter as “same”. 

These worksheets concentrate on synonyms. There are similar worksheets that concentrate on antonyms, if you need to practice those as well. Go on DesignBundles.net and look for Antonym Practice.

On one side of the worksheet, the children match the synonyms in the two columns. On the other side of the worksheet, the children will write a synonym that goes with each of the words given. Remember that there can be multiple synonyms for each word, so if you are confused about one that a child wrote, talk with them about what their thinking was. You may see it from their point of view.
