Antonyms Hexagon Puzzle (Yr 2,3)

Overview:

A hands-on puzzle activity designed to help younger students match antonyms with the support of pictures, reinforcing their understanding of opposites. Designed for students in year 2 and year 3.

Learning Objectives:

• Recognise and understand antonyms.
• Expand vocabulary through word association and visual cues.
• Strengthen problem-solving skills by completing a hands-on puzzle.

How the Activity Works:

Students are provided with hexagonal puzzle pieces, each containing a word and its antonym, along with a supporting picture to aid recognition (e.g., "full" with "empty," "young" with "old," "buy" with "sell"). They arrange the pieces so that each word matches its opposite. The puzzle pieces fit together correctly when all the matches are accurate, forming a complete puzzle. The inclusion of pictures helps reinforce the concept of antonyms for younger learners. Laminating the pieces ensures the resource lasts for repeated use.
