Talking about the environment has become essential. This activity sheet provides your students with the tools to do so accurately by focusing on opposites. Understanding antonyms like natural/artificial or clean/polluted is crucial for building arguments and describing ecological issues. This simple and effective matching game logically anchors vocabulary, preparing students for deeper discussions on current topics.

Resource Objective & Content
The objective is to consolidate and expand students' vocabulary to describe nature and environmental conditions by identifying and associating antonymous adjectives (opposites).
The document is an exercise titled "Antonyms Game" on the theme "Adjectives of Nature and Environment". Students must connect eight pairs of words with opposite meanings. The vocabulary covers concepts of ecology (natural/artificial, clean/polluted), safety (safe/dangerous), physical conditions (warm/cold, dry/wet, light/heavy) and state (quiet/noisy, fresh/stale). This lexicon is essential for describing and comparing places or discussing the impact of human activity.
Suggested Procedure
Before the activity (~5 min): TWO WORLDS COLLIDE
-
Write two opposing concepts on the board (e.g.: "A beautiful forest" vs "A polluted city"). Ask students to provide adjectives to describe each concept to naturally elicit vocabulary of opposites.
During the activity (~5-10 min): FIND THE OPPOSITES
-
Distribute the worksheet. Emphasize the instruction: find the opposite (the opposite).
-
Let students, individually or in pairs, connect the antonym pairs.
-
Facilitate a collective correction using images to illustrate the pairs (e.g.: a photo of a clean river/clean and a polluted river/polluted).
After the activity (~10 min): DESCRIBE THE TWO IMAGES
-
Show two highly contrasting photos (e.g.: a calm natural landscape and a noisy industrial area).
-
Students must use at least three antonym pairs from the worksheet to compare the two scenes. For example: "The first picture is quiet and safe, but the second picture is noisy and dangerous.".
Adaptations
-
To simplify: Before the exercise, mime or show images for each word on the list to ensure all vocabulary is understood.
-
To extend: Ask students to write a short paragraph about an environmental problem (city noise, air pollution) using several antonym pairs to explain the situation and the desired solution.
