Synonyms FREEBIE for you today!!
Let’s start with the end result, shall we? Here is my eldest son’s masterpiece!
Alex has been confusing his synonyms, antonyms and homophones and so I thought it was time to get creative and help him out.
Now, remember, this is my munchkin who doesn’t enjoy doing worksheets nor writing; he’s the little fellow who leaves homework till the last minute… probably hoping it will get done on its own?!? Not sure what he’s hoping for, actually….
Anyhow, my aim with this activity was to get him to remember that “Synonyms are words with similar meanings”. It requires no writing, much to his relief!
We borrowed Filip’s desk (so I could take photos of him) and we got started! Here he is matching the words from Set 1 from my Synonyms – Center and Worksheets unit. Alex LOVED it!
After he completed the activity, he worked on the follow-up “worksheet” – here he is cutting the words apart…
… colouring the pictures…
… and then gluing the words next to their synonym…
Today was our “introductory session”, so we didn’t over-stress the Synonym definition. However, come tomorrow, we’ll work on set 2 and, each time he makes a match, I’ll get him to say the definition for me. I’m sure he will remember it by the time we finish the unit!
If you’d like to try out the first set, please click on the picture below to get your freebie! If you think you need the complete set, please click here to purchase it from my TpT store!
Hi Lavinia – I’m hoping the beginning of your post means that a antonym and homophone set may not be far behind?!?!

You’re spot on, Michelle!! 🙂
Yippee! These are topics my ESL students struggle with so I can’t wait!
Ahhh…it’s about time you feature Alex! 🙂 I didn’t even realise you have a synonym pack in your store until now! Thank you for the freebie!
Cherie, it’s a new packet I made for Alex. Enjoy the freebie 🙂
I love seeing what Alex is getting up to, what’s Cami and David gettingvup to, are you doing work with them too? I will hopefully get around to sending you an email, things have just been pretty busy over the last few weeks/months! Ollie doesn’t want to do anything that involves any type of school work from readers to pasting! I love this set, I’d completely forgotten about synonyms, antonyms and homophones, can wait for those units too 😀
THIS IS AWESOME!!!! My son is struggling too. I’m going to print and use with him. Thanks. YOU ROCK!
I’m so glad this will help your son 🙂
Many thanks for being so generous!! You´re amazing. God bless you
Wow, great!
Hi … Why is the link for the freebie?
Thank you!
Hello,
There have been some changes to Google Drive recently, so the links are no longer working. I am working to update them, but it will take me a few months at least to update them all.
