Class Game - Synonyms
A really fun whole class game, which includes 31 student cards and 1 teacher's starter card. Once confident, students can race the clock and strive to beat their best time. As an added benefit, these games are great for encouraging teamwork.
This is a great game to play regularly as a whole class, either as an English warm-up or as a revision/extension of student’s knowledge.

Learning goals
- We are learning to understand how language features such as personal and possessive pronouns can be used to leave out words in a text that can be inferred, e.g. Sam went to school. She had a lovely day. (‘at school’ is inferred).
- We are learning to understand how language features such as synonyms, antonyms and word associations make texts cohesive.
