ENGLISH
Synonym Scramble! 🔁📝

Let's boost our vocabulary and explore the wonderful world of synonyms!

Your Mission:

1. Choose 5 common words (e.g., happy, big, sad, walk, run).

2. For each word, brainstorm at least 3 synonyms (words with similar meanings).

3. Create a synonym scramble puzzle by mixing up the original words and their synonyms.

4. Challenge a friend or family member to match the words with their correct synonyms.

Bonus Challenges:

• Use a thesaurus or online dictionary to discover even more synonyms.

• Write a short story or poem using as many synonyms as possible.

• Discuss how synonyms can help make your writing more interesting and expressive.
