This worksheet is designed to help children practice
antonyms (opposite words) and
comparative reasoning using pictures. Each section presents two opposite adjectives, along with images of objects or characters that represent one end of the spectrum. The task is to identify which image matches each adjective and write the name of the object/character in the blank.
Let's go through each section step by step:
---
1. BIG – SMALL
- Images: A
large pink elephant and a
small green turtle.
- Big → Elephant
- Small → Turtle
✔ Answers:
1. BIG –
Elephant
2. SMALL –
Turtle
---
2. TALL – SHORT
- Images: A
tall giraffe and a
short kangaroo.
- Tall → Giraffe
- Short → Kangaroo
✔ Answers:
1. TALL –
Giraffe
2. SHORT –
Kangaroo
---
3. FAST – SLOW
- Images: A
rabbit (known for being fast) and a
dog (slower).
- Fast → Rabbit
- Slow → Dog
✔ Answers:
1. FAST –
Rabbit
2. SLOW –
Dog
---
4. EXPENSIVE – CHEAP
- Images: A
luxury red car and a
simple blue airplane.
- Expensive → Car (typically more expensive than an airplane in this context, but here it’s likely implying the car is more costly)
Wait — actually, airplanes are usually more expensive than cars. But since this is a simplified visual exercise, we need to interpret based on typical assumptions in such worksheets.
But looking closely:
- The
car is sleek and red — often associated with luxury.
- The
airplane looks small and basic — possibly a toy or model plane.
So likely:
- Expensive →
Car
- Cheap →
Airplane
✔ Answers:
1. EXPENSIVE –
Car
2. CHEAP –
Airplane
> Note: This may be a simplification; real-world cost doesn't always match, but in kids' worksheets, visuals imply value.

5. UGLY – BEAUTIFUL
- Images:
Mary (a girl with glasses, perhaps seen as "ugly" in old-fashioned terms) and
Jill (with bright hair and makeup, clearly "beautiful").
- Ugly → Mary
- Beautiful → Jill
✔ Answers:
1. UGLY –
Mary
2. BEAUTIFUL –
Jill
> Note: This uses outdated stereotypes. Modern education avoids such binary judgments, but it's part of the worksheet design.

6. OLD – YOUNG
- Images:
Bob (an older man with gray hair) and
Tom (a young boy).
- Old → Bob
- Young → Tom
✔ Answers:
1. OLD –
Bob
2. YOUNG –
Tom
