Resource Objective & Content

The objective is to introduce the concept of opposites (antonyms) with basic vocabulary related to food and taste to very young learners (A1 level).

The document is an exercise titled "Antonyms Game" for A1 level on the theme "Adjectives of Taste". Students must connect eight pairs of words with opposite meanings. The vocabulary consists of fundamental adjectives for describing food: delicious/terrible, hot/cold, sweet/sour, fresh/stale, clean/dirty, full/empty, soft/hard, and thick/thin. This activity builds a lexical foundation for expressing simple food preferences.


Suggested Procedure

Before the activity (~5 min): DELICIOUS OR TERRIBLE?

  • Use facial expressions and mimes. Pretend to eat something delicious, saying "Mmm, delicious!". Then, make a face while eating something bad and say "Yuck, terrible!".

During the activity (~5 min): LET'S FIND THE OPPOSITES TOGETHER

  • Distribute the worksheet. Complete the exercise in a fully guided manner with the class.

  • For each word on the left, say it aloud, mime it, then find its opposite on the right together. Use real objects if possible (a full glass/full and an empty glass/empty).

After the activity (~5 min): WHAT IS IT?

  • Show simple pictures or drawings of food.

  • Ask very simple questions to the class: "Is a lemon sweet or sour?", "Is the milk fresh or stale?".


Adaptations

  • To simplify: The main adaptation is to use as many real objects as possible (a candy for sweet, a piece of hard bread for hard), mimes, and images for each word before starting the worksheet.

  • To deepen: Students can draw their favorite dish and their most disliked dish. They then write one or two adjectives from the worksheet under each drawing (e.g., a cake with "delicious, sweet" and broccoli with "terrible").
