About this worksheet

Words are related in many ways: synonyms mean almost the same thing, antonyms mean the opposite, and analogies compare two pairs of related words. Knowing a synonym gives a writer a stronger, more exact word to use: instead of angry, furious. On this fifth grade sheet a child reads ten clue words and a word bank of the ten matching words, and writes the word from the bank that means the same as each clue.

Each word in the bank is used once. Each version has different words, and the answer key gives every answer.

What your child will learn

  • Know what a synonym is
  • Match a word to a stronger or more exact word
  • Use a word bank
  • Build a bigger vocabulary

Common Core standard: L.5.5.C

Worked example

The synonym of angry in the word bank is furious: both mean very upset, and furious is the stronger word.

Common mistake

Choosing a word that is on the same topic but does not mean the same thing, such as a word for hot when the clue says cold.

Helpful hint

Think of a sentence with the clue word, then try each bank word in its place.
