Description
Keeping upper elementary students engaged with winter literacy activities is easier with fun, hands-on learning opportunities. Especially right after a long holiday break. This editable winter literacy center can be used to help students review synonyms and antonyms with a fun snowman theme!
For this winter activity, each snowman has two synonyms on his body that students must match.
There are 30 total “Synonym Snowmen” that can be used in three different ways:
- OPTION 1:–Snowman Synonyms for a Literacy Center–Cut the snowmen apart and have your students match each synonym for an engaging winter literacy center. Your students can extend their work with the included response sheet, where they will write a sentence using their synonyms.
- OPTION 2: –Snowman Synonyms SCOOT Game that includes Antonym Practice–Leave each snowman in one whole piece so that students see both synonyms. Then play a SCOOT game (with the included SCOOT sheet) where students can write an antonym to match the synonyms.
- OPTION 3: –Snowman Synonyms Google Forms for Distance Learning–The Google Forms version included has a direct link allowing you to make your own copy. Then you can assign this synonym activity virtually.
⭐ Here’s how this winter literacy center benefits you and your students:
- These snowmen are EDITABLE so that you can change the synonyms for your class.–This makes differentiation so much easier for you.
- The variety of options allows you to use this with whole group, small group, and online learning–flexibility gives you greater control.
- Your students need something fun, challenging, but not too hard during those frigid winter months–so that they won’t be bored.
- FREE UPDATES for life!
