Synonyms & Antonyms–Double Dice Add-On Deck assists students in building more robust vocabulary skills by learning the synonyms and antonyms of words in context. There are fifty-four (54) total playing cards and each card contains a colorful photograph and four (4) sentences corresponding to it. A target word within each sentence is highlighted, and the student replaces this word with a corresponding synonym or antonym. (An answer key is included.)

Here is how it works:

1. The instructor places nine (9) cards face down on the table.
2. A student rolls the double dice and it lands on a shape.
3. The student turns over the card with the corresponding shape.
4. The student reads (or listens as the instructor reads) the sentence which corresponds to the number on the inner die.
5. The student responds by replacing the highlighted word with a synonym (cards 1-27) or an antonym (cards 28-54).

The students get plenty of practice (108 synonyms and 108 antonyms) and enjoy using this activity time and time again!
