Hi Guys,

I tried exploring forums before posting but couldn't find any major posts on techniques of teaching synonyms & antonyms in a fun way so DD doesn't forget it. Any ideas please?

Thanks

How about a variant on the old "pairs" game? Make up pairs of synonym cards, scatter them all face down and take it in turns to choose which pair to turn over. The winner is the person with the most pairs at the end. Do the same for antonyms. A nice memory test, too.
