Resource Objective & Content
The objective is to introduce and consolidate basic vocabulary for describing nature and environmental conditions by identifying and associating antonymous (opposite) adjectives.
The document is an exercise titled "Antonyms Game" for A2 level on the theme "Adjectives of Nature and Environment". Students must connect eight pairs of words with opposite meanings. The vocabulary covers environmental concepts (natural/artificial , clean/polluted , fresh/stale ), physical conditions (warm/cold , dry/wet , light/heavy ) and qualities of places (quiet/noisy , safe/dangerous ). This activity gives learners the tools to make simple comparisons about their environment.
Suggested Procedure
Before the activity (~5 min): THE WEATHER OF OPPOSITES
-
Start an oral warm-up on the weather using simple opposites. Ask: "Is it hot today? No, it's... cold!", "Is it wet outside? No, it's... dry!".
During the activity (~5-10 min): FIND THE OPPOSITES
-
Distribute the worksheet. Ensure that the instruction to find the opposite (the opposite) is well understood.
-
Do the first pair, for example warm/cold, all together.
-
Let students, alone or in pairs, connect the other pairs. Correct collectively using contrasting images (a forest/quiet and a city/noisy).
After the activity (~10 min): DESCRIBE THE PICTURE
-
Show a simple image of a place (e.g., a clean beach, a polluted street).
-
Ask closed questions that prompt the adjectives from the worksheet as answers. For example: "Is this place quiet or noisy?", "Is the water clean or polluted?".
Adaptations
-
To simplify: Use gestures and sounds to illustrate concepts before starting: shiver for cold, make a loud noise for noisy, etc.
-
To extend: Ask students to draw two opposite scenes (e.g., a sunny and dry day vs. a rainy and wet day) and label them with at least two pairs of antonyms from the worksheet.
