Kindergarten synonyms and antonyms worksheet with word matching activity.

Let's solve the "Matching Synonyms and Antonyms" worksheet step by step.

We are given a list of words in the first column:

- angry
- shy
- windy
- old
- clean

And we need to find:
- A synonym (a word with a similar meaning)
- An antonym (a word with the opposite meaning)
For each word, using the words provided in the cloud:

Words in the cloud:
- stormy
- new
- brave
- tidy
- timid
- dirty
- calm
- mad
- happy
- aged

---

Step-by-step matching:

#### 1. angry
- Synonym: A word that means "angry" → mad (both express strong negative emotion)
- Antonym: Opposite of "angry" → calm or happy?
- "Calm" is the opposite of being agitated/angry.
- "Happy" is a positive emotion but not directly opposite; however, "calm" fits better as a contrast to anger.
- So, calm is the best antonym here.

✔ angry → synonym: mad, antonym: calm

---

#### 2. shy
- Synonym: A word that means "shy" → timid (both mean reserved or afraid to speak up)
- Antonym: Opposite of "shy" → brave (someone who is not afraid)

✔ shy → synonym: timid, antonym: brave

---

#### 3. windy
- Synonym: A word that means "windy" → stormy (storms often involve strong winds)
- Antonym: Opposite of "windy" → calm (no wind, peaceful)

✔ windy → synonym: stormy, antonym: calm

---

#### 4. old
- Synonym: A word that means "old" → aged (older version of "old")
- Antonym: Opposite of "old" → new

✔ old → synonym: aged, antonym: new

---

#### 5. clean
- Synonym: A word that means "clean" → tidy (neat and clean)
- Antonym: Opposite of "clean" → dirty

✔ clean → synonym: tidy, antonym: dirty

---

Final Answer Table:

| Word | Synonym | Antonym |
|--------|---------|---------|
| angry | mad | calm |
| shy | timid | brave |
| windy | stormy | calm |
| old | aged | new |
| clean | tidy | dirty |

---

Notes:

- The word "calm" appears as an antonym for both angry and windy, which is correct because it’s a valid opposite in both contexts.
- All words from the cloud are used exactly once, so this matches perfectly.

✔ This completes the worksheet!
