Antonyms and Opposites Picture Cards

About this resource

A picture for every word, and every word has its opposite right beside it: nine pairs of antonyms, eighteen cut-apart picture cards -- happy and sad, hot and cold, locked and unlocked, open and closed, loud and quiet, day and night, old and young, heavy and light, full and empty. Each card carries one big picture and one big word, and the two cards of a pair sit side by side, so opposites are something a child can see. Each card gets its own mark, and the file never decides what counts as a correct answer; that stays your own scoring rule.

WHAT IS INCLUDED -- 19 pages, 358 type-in fields

Picture Cards

• 18 picture cards in full color, each a big cut-apart piece laid edge to edge in a 6-across, 3-down grid so cutting is a few straight lines -- 9 pairs, three pairs to a row
• The same 18 cards again as an ink-saver set in pure black outlines, for the photocopier
• An adult box under each card page listing what a child may call each picture (for example "lock" for both locked and unlocked), so your scoring rule is decided before the first probe
• Pictures are Noto Emoji (color) and Fluent Emoji High Contrast (ink-saver); the full and empty glass is drawn vector art built for this file

Probe And Track

• 3 quick picture probe forms (A, B, C), 6 pictures each -- three pairs on each form, so the three forms together are the whole 18-card deck with no overlap
• Full-Deck Probe -- all 9 pairs on one sheet, a mark for each end of every pair, and a column for what was actually said
• Data Log -- 17 rows: date, form, correct, out of, percent, notes
• Percent Graph -- 14 probes across, 0-100 percent grid, a field for the team's own criterion
• Caseload Summary -- 16 rows: student, pairs worked on, baseline, current, trend, decision

Share And Write

• Practice at Home -- a family update built from five of the same pairs used in session, a weekly practice table, and lines for the opposites a family noticed outside of practice time
• Phrase Bank -- 18 observable-language starters across 5 groups (accuracy, what was said, carryover, the log and graph, the caseload page)
• Filled Example -- an invented student, eight probes, every percent re-counted from its own row

What This Is, And What It Is Not

It is a fillable PDF: type into the log, graph, caseload page, family page, and probe-form headers, or print and use a pen. It works offline with no account or subscription. It is NOT an editable online slideshow or word-processor document, and it is not a norm-referenced or standardized test.

It carries no elicitation, cueing or modeling script. It does not decide what counts as a correct response, a criterion, or a typical rate for opposites -- every one of those is your own call, written once and reused every session. Pictures replace the printed word list a child cannot yet read; they do not replace your scoring rule.

Who This Is For

Speech-language pathologists and special education teams working on antonyms, opposites and describing vocabulary with young or pre-reading students, and the families who get the practice page sent home.
