Opposite of the day
Introduce one antonym pair each day and act it out together: stand tall, then crouch short. Then use both words in a sentence. A daily pair builds a big collection of opposites over the year.
Why it works: showing first, practicing together, then letting kids try alone is the "gradual release" model teachers have relied on for decades (Pearson and Gallagher, 1983).
