Worksheet Overview

In this activity, we are going to be looking at opposites.

The name for a word that is the opposite of another is an antonym.

Cinderella Witch

The word 'cruel' means the opposite of the word 'kind'. Therefore, these two words are antonyms of each other.

In this activity, we will practise matching up words with their opposites by finding the antonym.
