Synonym Splash

Help the frog reach its lily pad by following a path of synonyms! Students will find their way through the maze by identifying synonym pairs, such as brave and fearless, begin and start, and grin and smile. Just make sure to avoid the tricky antonyms along the way!

As second and third graders study each pair of words, they must consider word meanings and relationships, which helps with vocabulary development. Knowledge of synonyms, antonyms, and word relationships can support reading comprehension and stronger word choice in writing.
