"Soaring With Synonyms!" Kite Craft

So that you can also do this packet with younger kiddos, I've included a blank kite pattern.

They could list rhyming words, sight words, color words etc. PK students can simply do the craft.

Daily word work can sometimes be a bit tedious for older students.

With that in mind, I designed this “Soaring With Synonyms” packet.

My students really enjoy making a colorful kite, with a list of synonyms for their “bow word”.

On another day, they make the back of their kite with a list of antonyms.

The back of the kite can also be used for a writing prompt, or spring poem.

Completed projects look awesome suspended from the ceiling in our hallway.

Studying synonyms and antonyms not only increases vocabulary, but enhances students’ writing; making it more interesting and vivid, as it gives children a better word base to choose from, so their writing is not redundant and boring, filled with over-used words like “said”, “pretty”, “went” etc.

The packet includes:

Synonym/antonym kite craftivity, with a full-page pattern, as well as a smaller, 2-on-a-page template.

48 kite word cards to play Memory Match & "I Have; Who Has?” games, plus a blank set of kite cards to program with whatever...

Black line mini kite worksheet for more synonym/antonym practice, plus a full-color, completed worksheet to use as a sample.

Synonym and antonym “definition” anchor charts

An alphabetical, word-list poster of 70 words students can choose from to complete their kite.

Background information about synonym/antonym word work.

A list of 290 synonym/antonym pairs.

I’m Diane from Teach With Me, hoping “Soaring With Synonyms” will be a fun activity for your students, that truly helps build their vocabulary and improves their writing.
