Antonyms Hexagon Puzzle (Yr 4,5)

Overview:

A hands-on puzzle activity focused on matching antonyms, helping students develop a deeper understanding of opposites and expand their vocabulary. Designed for year 4 and 5 students.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify and understand antonyms.
• Build vocabulary and language comprehension 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 antonym. They arrange the pieces so that each word matches its opposite (e.g., "remember" with "forget," "persevere" with "give up," "happy" with "glum"). The pieces fit together correctly when all matches are accurate, resulting in a complete puzzle. This engaging, tactile activity encourages students to focus on word meanings and opposites. Laminating the pieces ensures the resource is durable and can be used multiple times.
