Teacher notes
- Match each word to its opposite.
- The twelve dominoes join into one closed loop, so the last domino fits back onto the first. That means a player can check their own work: if the loop will not close, something is mismatched.
- Print on thin card if you can, and laminate for a set that lasts. Children can also glue the sheet onto card before cutting.
- Early finishers: write a sentence for each pair.
- Cut the dominoes in half and use them as a pairs game (Pelmanism) for a different feel.
