PDF Structure

  • PDF 1 (21 pages): 
    • Page 1: Teaching intro + key opposites list + matching activity. 
    • Pages 2–21: 20 large picture-only flashcards (10 pairs, front = image only, back for teacher reference with opposites).

Quick Tips

  • Start with flashcards (PDF 1): Show picture, say both opposites (“big… small!”). Students repeat chorally. 
  • Use matching (PDF 1) and coloring/sentences (PDF 2) first for controlled practice. 
  • Add movement games: Stand Up/Sit Down, Opposites Hunt (show real objects), Opposites Race (teams shout opposites). 
  • Homework: Find 3 opposites at home and tell family.

Keep it playful — lots of pointing, acting, and laughter! Teachers can mix PDFs for short or longer lessons.
