You will then write 5 sentences using different synonyms in each and 5 sentences using different antonyms in each. Underline the synonyms and antonyms in your sentences.
Then, exchange papers with your classmate and write a synonym not learned in the game on top of the synonym your classmate wrote in his/her sentence. You will do the same for the antonyms.
