Objective & Resource Content

The objective is to consolidate and expand students' vocabulary to describe personality and character traits by identifying and matching antonym (opposite) adjectives.

The document is an exercise titled "Antonyms Game" on the theme "Adjectives of Relationships". Students must connect eight pairs of words with opposite meanings. The vocabulary covers essential character traits for describing social interactions: friendly/unfriendly, kind/cruel, generous/selfish, honest/dishonest, patient/impatient, polite/rude, romantic/unromantic, and trusting/suspicious. This activity allows students to describe people's behavior more precisely.

Suggested Procedure

Before the activity (~5 min): THE GOOD AND THE BAD FRIEND

Divide the board into two. On one side, ask students to list the qualities of a good friend ("What makes a good friend?"). On the other, the flaws of a bad friend. This sets up the notion of opposition.

During the activity (~5-10 min): FIND THE OPPOSITES

Distribute the worksheet. Emphasize the instruction: find the opposite (the opposite).
Allow students, individually or in pairs, to connect the antonym pairs.
Lead a collective correction by asking for simple sentences to contextualize (e.g., "A good person is polite, not rude.").

After the activity (~10 min): HERO VS VILLAIN

Show an image of a well-known movie hero and their sworn enemy.
Students must describe the personality of each using the adjectives from the worksheet. For example: "The hero is kind and honest, but the villain is cruel and dishonest.".

Adaptations

To simplify: Before the exercise, create two columns on the board: "Positive Traits" and "Negative Traits". Classify all the adjectives from the worksheet together with the students' help. This will greatly facilitate finding the pairs.
To deepen: Ask students to describe a character from their favorite series or book using at least three pairs of antonyms to show the complexity of their personality.
