An interesting and useful activity for enriching students' vocabulary.It's easier to learn and memorize vocabulary in pairs,either with its synonyms or antonyms.
Knowing synonyms is important for L2 language learners in order not to repeat the same words in writing or in speaking. Although it is designed for the elementary level, I advise this activity for intermediate level because I experimented with children in elementary level I saw that the words are a little bit more sophisticated.
This game would better serve for teenagers as it is not colorful or elaborate. It will help improve skills in adjective-synonyms. Learners can practice the vocabulary learned from other sources via this game.
We can use this game to teach, practice and/or test knowledge of synonyms and antonyms. My friend, who is a low intermediate EFL learner, has learnt several words while playing this game. So, not only kids, but also adults learn quickly with games.
This game is helpful for teaching synonyms to kids. I tried the medium mode of this game with my neighbor and he liked it. He learned many new words from this game. Alternatively, it allows to see how the given words are pronounced and spelled. There is a worksheet which can be printed out to use in case there are no computers connected to the internnet at your disposal.
Word Frog provides practice in matching antonyms, synonyms, and homonyms. The target word appears on the frog, with the word category underneath defining the relationship to be matched.
