Synonyms Hexagon Puzzle (Yr 4,5)

Overview:

A hands-on puzzle activity designed to help students match synonyms, enhancing their vocabulary and word association skills. Designed for middle and upper years students.

Learning Objectives:

• Recognise and understand synonyms.
• Develop vocabulary and language skills through word association.
• 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 synonym. They arrange the pieces so that each word matches its correct synonym (e.g., "angry" with "irate," "anxious" with "nervous," "confused" with "puzzled"). The puzzle pieces fit together correctly when all the matches are accurate, creating a complete puzzle. This activity not only helps students reinforce their understanding of synonyms but also engages them in a tactile, interactive task.
