Resource Objective & Content

The objective is to introduce and consolidate basic vocabulary for describing feelings and emotions by identifying and associating antonym (opposite) adjectives.

The document is an exercise titled "Antonyms Game" for A2 level on the theme "Adjectives of Feelings". Students must connect eight pairs of words with opposite meanings. The vocabulary covers fundamental emotions and character traits: happy/sad, excited/bored, pleased/annoyed, relaxed/stressed, brave/afraid, kind/cruel, polite/rude, and honest/dishonest. This activity gives learners the words to express simple positive and negative feelings.

Suggested Procedure

Before the activity (~5 min): THE EMOTICON GAME

Show simple emoticons (😊, 😠, 😥) and ask students to name the emotion in English. Then, ask: "What is the opposite?" to introduce the concept of opposites.

During the activity (~5-10 min): FINDING THE OPPOSITES

Distribute the worksheet. Make sure the instruction to find the opposite (the opposite) is well understood.
Do the first, most obvious pair (happy/sad) together as a class.
Let students, individually or in pairs, connect the other pairs. Correct collectively using facial expressions to reinforce the meaning of the words.

After the activity (~10 min): HOW DO YOU FEEL?

Give students simple situations and ask them how they would feel.
For example: "It's your birthday! How do you feel?" (I feel happy / excited!). "You lost your book. How do you feel?" (I feel sad / annoyed.).

Adaptations

To simplify: Before the exercise, draw two large faces on the board (one happy, one unhappy). Classify all the adjectives from the worksheet into these two categories with the help of the class to then facilitate the association of opposites.
To extend: Ask students to draw a face expressing an emotion from the worksheet, then write a simple sentence below it, such as: "I feel brave.".
