No. of Players: | 2+ |

What you need: | nothing |
Goal
To think of antonyms of a given word.
How to play
An antonym is a word opposite in meaning to another. In this game, one player will say a word and the other players will try to think of a word that means its opposite. The winner is the first player who thinks of an acceptable antonym; this player then becomes the one to give a new word for the next round. For more difficult game play, players are asked to think of a word that means the opposite of two words.
Example
Antonio speaks to Blair, Clay and Dahlia.
Antonio: | Give me an antonym to the word CLEAR. |
Clay: | VAGUE. Give me an antonym to SAD. |
Blair: | HAPPY. Antonym for TIRED? |
Dahlia: | ENERGETIC. How about an antonym for both RIGHT and STAYED? |
Antonio: | LEFT. Antonym for UNEMPLOYED and BROKEN please. |
Dahlia: | WORKING |
And so on.
