Play A Word Game – Chain Of Opposites
Player one starts by naming a word. Player two must come up
with a word that has an opposite meaning to the word player
one named. Player three then names a word opposite to the
second word, and so on until someone is stumped. Using
homophones can make this game very interesting. Here is an example:
Hot – Cold – Flu – Walked – Ran – Ended
Hot went to cold as opposites in temperature. Cold went to flu
because they are different ailments. Flu became flew and the
opposite was walked. Ran is the opposite of walked when
referring to speed of locomotion. Ended can express an opposite
relationship to ran when referring to an ad placement.
Be creative and have fun.
