Opposites matching worksheet for children to draw lines between words and their corresponding images.

Let’s go step by step to match each word with its opposite.

We’ll look at each word on the left and find the word on the right that means the *opposite*.

1. big → The opposite of big is small
(Big = large, Small = not big)

2. happy → The opposite of happy is sad
(Happy = feeling good, Sad = feeling bad)

3. old → The opposite of old is young
(Old = aged, Young = new or little age)

4. open → The opposite of open is close
(Open = not shut, Close = shut)

5. dry → The opposite of dry is wet
(Dry = no water, Wet = has water)

6. hot → The opposite of hot is cold
(Hot = warm, Cold = cool or freezing)

7. night → The opposite of night is day
(Night = dark time, Day = light time)

Now let’s pair them up correctly:

- big ↔ small
- happy ↔ sad
- old ↔ young
- open ↔ close
- dry ↔ wet
- hot ↔ cold
- night ↔ day

All matches are logical opposites.

Final Answer:
big — small
happy — sad
old — young
open — close
dry — wet
hot — cold
night — day
