Growing Opposites
(visual/oral/auditory/kinesthetic)
Invite children to draw a picture of a vegetable garden and label it with words that are opposites.
Discuss the different things children might include in their pictures, such as specific vegetables, gardening tools, baskets for the vegetables, and the gardeners themselves.
To help children complete this activity, you might first brainstorm a list of opposites as a group, then post the list on your classroom word wall for reference.
