Opposites Flashcards

Teach opposites and adjectives with these 50 opposite flashcards! Teach adjectives in a fun way by having your students guess what the opposite is. Learning adjectives as opposites helps your kids remember twice as much vocabulary!

Adjectives can be fun to learn because you can now talk with your students about experiences they have had. Adjectives are words you can use right away, and ESL students especially can benefit a lot by knowing them. For maximum retention, try to use the words in the classroom and during lunchtime. Ask if their food is hot or cold, or if their pet is big or small : )

As usual, try to back up the vocabulary they have learned by making crafts and putting them on the wall. If children see the opposites on the wall every day, they are more likely to remember the adjectives they have learned.
