This is a very good way to have the children extend and enrich their vocabulary. Divide the class in pairs and give them one set of cards.
Each coloured set has three sets of words for them to find synonyms of.
Ask them to find the 3 common words with the small number in the right corner. This number tells you how many words to find.
They may use a dictionary to check they understand the meanings of the more unusual words.
If they have time, ask them to use the more unusual words in sentences now they understand their meaning or copy the synonyms in cluster on a big poster with proper illustrations for the class to use as future reference.
Challenge them to you think of a word to add to each group of synonyms. This activity is also very good for fast finishers. They can work on their own. You can challenge gifted and motivated students to add a new whole group of synonyms. They can choose to work on adjectives or verbs, for example.
Here is a sample page. Click on it.
