Match Antonyms This page will let you move a word to match it with an antonym.
You might also be able to move one of the small turtles, if you see turtles.
An antononym is a word with the opposite meaning of another word.
First, click, hold, and drag the words to rearrange them.
Second, find out which small turtle can be moved.
I hope you enjoy this activity. - John Schlichte
