ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Smile and Learn English ANTONYMS For Kids – What are anotonyms? – Words With Opposite Meaning
Welcome to Smile and Learn! I’m so happy you’re here today. I need your help with something special. See this big book? It’s our magic book for spell casting class. I’m trying to figure out a magic spell, but the words are all mixed up. Let me read it to you:
“Wrong is right, and yes is no, and high is low, and short is tall. Can you reverse them all from big to small?”
Do you have any ideas, friends?
Oh, there you are! Come on, we’re late for class!
I can’t go to class; I haven’t finished my homework. I’m still working on that spell.
It can’t be that hard. Show me, and we’ll figure it out together.
“Wrong is right, and yes is no, and low is high, and short is tall. Can you reverse them all from big to small?”
These are antonyms, and the only way to cast this spell is to understand what an antonym is.
Could you explain that to me?
Of course! Antonyms are words that have opposite meanings. For example, “I love cakes” and “I hate cakes.”
Exactly! Love and hate are antonyms because they mean two totally different things.
Look at us! I’m big, and you’re tiny.
See our hats? My hat is short, and your hat is tall.
Look at our backpacks! Yours is new, and mine is old.
So, big and tiny, short and tall, and new and old are total opposites, and because of this, we call them antonyms.
Let’s practice some more! Name something, and I’ll give you the antonym.
Okay, ready? Here goes the first one…
Cold!
And the last one…
Slow!
Fast!
Now I’m ready for class! I’ll be casting the antonym spell in no time.
Hear that? It’s the magic bell ringing! Hurry, or we’ll miss class!
Come on, my friend! Let’s show our classmates some real antonym magic!
We’ve learned so much in just one video! Did you know there are many more videos? Imagine how much you could learn!

Antonym Hunt: Go on an antonym hunt around your home or classroom! Find objects or situations that have opposites. For example, look for something that is “big” and something that is “small.” Share your findings with a friend or family member and explain why they are antonyms.
Antonym Match-Up: Create a set of cards with words on them. Each card should have a word like “hot,” “day,” or “happy.” Mix them up and try to find the antonym pairs. You can play this game with a friend and see who can find the most pairs!
Story Time with Opposites: Write a short story using antonyms. Start with a sentence like “Once upon a time, there was a big bear and a small mouse.” Continue the story by adding more sentences that include antonyms. Share your story with your class or family and see if they can spot all the antonyms!

Welcome to Smile and Learn!
I’m so glad you’re all here today. I could really use your help. See this heavy book? It’s our old book of word enchantments that we use in our spell casting class.
I’m working on a magic spell that I’ve been trying to understand for days, but the words are all mixed up. Let me read it out to you and see what you think:
“Wrong is right, and yes is no, and high is low, and short is tall. Can you reverse them all from big to small?”
Any ideas, friends?
Oh, here you are! Come on, we’re late for class!
I can’t go to class; I haven’t done my homework. I’m still working on that spell.
