The world around us is the primary source of curiosity for young learners. This activity sheet, specially designed for absolute beginners (A1), gives them their first words to describe nature and weather using opposites. Through a very simple and visual matching game, students learn to name basic concepts in a fun way. It's an excellent starting point for talking about their immediate environment.

Resource Objective & Content
The objective is to introduce the concept of opposites (antonyms) with basic vocabulary related to nature and weather to very young learners (A1 level).
The document is an exercise titled "Antonyms Game" for A1 level on the theme "Adjectives of Nature". Students must connect eight pairs of words with opposite meanings. The vocabulary consists of fundamental adjectives to describe the environment: hot/cold, wet/dry, light/dark, high/low, fast/slow, clean/dirty, natural/artificial, and quiet/noisy. This activity builds a lexical foundation for talking about weather and places.
Suggested Procedure
Before the activity (~5 min): Mime the weather!
-
Use Total Physical Response (TPR). Mime being very hot by fanning yourself and say "hot". Then, mime being cold by shivering and say "cold". Do the same for wet (by imitating rain) and dry (by showing the sun).
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 together find its opposite on the right. Use very simple drawings on the board (a sun for hot, a snowflake for cold).
After the activity (~5 min): WHAT'S THE WEATHER LIKE?
-
Show simple weather cards (a big sun, rain, a dark sky).
-
Ask simple questions to the class: "Is it hot or cold?", "Is it wet or dry?", "Is it light or dark?".
Adaptations
-
To simplify: The main adaptation is to use as many mimes, sounds (whispering for quiet, shouting for noisy) and images as possible for each word before starting the worksheet.
-
To extend: Create a "weather wheel" with the students. On a cardboard circle, they draw different types of weather and label them with the adjectives from the worksheet (e.g., a drawing of a sun with the word hot, a drawing of rain with wet, etc.).
