Overview:

A hands-on puzzle activity designed to help younger students match synonyms, with pictures to support understanding. Designed for year 2 and 3 students.

Learning Objectives:

  • Recognise and understand synonyms.
  • Enhance vocabulary through word association and visual cues.
  • Develop 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, supported by a picture to aid understanding (e.g., "present" with "gift," "shut" with "close," "clean" with "tidy").
