Opposites Attract: Oxymorons

Bring opposites together to form oxymorons in this worksheet on figurative language! Students will use the word bank to help them finish each of 10 oxymorons by matching opposite words. Then, learners will choose two of the oxymorons they formed and write a sentence using each one. 

This worksheet was designed for fourth through sixth graders learning about different types of figurative language. Students can get a better understanding of what oxymorons are and what they can mean in a sentence. Oxymorons can show learners that language can be playful and allow them to express ideas creatively.
