Activity: Opposites
Split the class or each group into two teams. Teams take turns “serving” with words which
have opposites and “returning” with the opposite. They continue sending words and opposites
back and forth between the serving and receiving sides until someone says something which
doesn’t have an opposite, doesn’t say the correct opposite or pauses too long.
