Synonyms worksheets — words with the same meaning

Free synonyms worksheets for Class 2 to 5: write a synonym for each word and replace the word in quotes in a sentence — printable, with answers.

💡 Learn it first

A synonym is a word with the same (or nearly the same) meaning: big – large, happy – glad, begin – start.
An antonym is the opposite: big – small. (See the adjective worksheets for opposites.)
Using synonyms makes writing interesting — instead of “very big” write “huge” or “enormous”.
