Rook's Rooftop Word Drop: Synonyms and Antonyms

Rook the raven is delivering words across a snowy rooftop, and every word has to go down the right chimney. Students start with a quick reminder of the terms (a synonym means the same, an antonym means the opposite), then sort four word tags for each of six words: happy, cold, fast, big, brave and quiet. Synonyms go down the left chimney and antonyms down the right. A wrong drop turns the chimney red and plays a spoken hint, and the scene moves on once both chimneys are right. Directions are narrated.

• 6 drag-and-drop sorting scenes, 24 word tags in all
