Vocabulary

K-5
Opposite Twins Students learn how to find the opposites of words from a list. There are many words to use and while the video is somewhat limited the feedback to students enables them to improve there vocabulary. Upon completion of a game, a new list of words is generated for the next game.

Similar and Opposite Words Students drag puzzle pieces to match up words that have the same or opposite meaning. As in other activities by the same website, to bypass the animated story with Lexis and Grizzle at the beginning, click on the icon bar (it looks like a tiny triangle) near the bottom of the screen. There are eight words to pair up on each level: 3 levels for words that mean the same, 3 levels for words that are opposite.

Lexis the Magician The initial animated storyline goes on for a few minutes. To bypass it, click on the icon bar that looks like a triangle at the bottom of the window. Then your students will be able to practice forming compound words, and contractions.

Squanky the Tooth Taker Quiet Quest for Opposites Very colorful, fun animations. Students have to click on the word that is opposite of a given word.

Squanky the Tooth Taker Tooth Tally Just like the above game, but this time students must identify synonyms.
