Synonyms

Twenty-four everyday words and a synonym for each: big and large, begin and start, shout and yell. Swapping a plain word for a stronger one is a core writing skill, and these games make it a habit. Players hear the clue word and look for its partner, so every round is vocabulary practice in both directions.
