Grade 1 Opposite Words Worksheet - Free Printable

I'll work through this opposite words worksheet step by step, finding the antonym for each word.

Let me go through each pair carefully:

Left column:
1. on → off
2. up → down
3. left → right
4. top → bottom
5. under → over (or above)
6. tall → short
7. big → small
8. skinny → fat (or chubby)
9. hairy → bald (or smooth)
10. round → square (or flat)
11. asleep → awake
12. empty → full
13. hungry → full
14. happy → sad
15. night → day

Right column:
1. new → old
2. pretty → ugly
3. dead → alive (or living)
4. sink → float
5. open → closed (or shut)
6. slow → fast
7. heavy → light
8. dark → light
9. old → young (or new)
10. hard → soft
11. lost → found
12. buy → sell
13. true → false
14. agree → disagree
15. first → last

Let me double-check these answers to make sure they're all correct opposites:
- All directional pairs check out (on/off, up/down, left/right, top/bottom, under/over)
- Size descriptors are correct (tall/short, big/small, skinny/fat)
- State of being opposites work (asleep/awake, dead/alive, empty/full)
- The tricky ones: "hungry" could be "full" but that's also used for "empty" - actually "hungry" opposite is more accurately "full" in terms of stomach, while "empty" opposite is "full" in terms of container. Both can use "full" as their opposite.
- "Hairy" opposite could be "bald" or "smooth" - both acceptable
- "Round" opposite could be "square" or "flat" depending on context
- "Dark" and "heavy" both have "light" as opposite - this is correct as "light" has multiple meanings

All answers appear correct!
