Adjectives of Size and Importance: an Opposites Matching Game
Vocabulary describing the size and importance of things is very useful. At least one of each pair of these adjective opposites is on the Academic Word List (words important for college study, research, and communication with educated people.) See how many you can match. (It's O.K. to guess! Concentrating on the words will help you learn the ones you might not be sure of.)
Instructions: match the adjectives on the right with their opposites on the left, then check your answers (and try again for any that may be incorrect.)
