Story of “Syn-Anto-gories”

Syn-Anto-gories is a game that came from the town called Syn-Anto-Gory.

The town of Syn-Anto-Gory was formed when 2 towns called

Synonym and Antonym thought it would be a great idea to become

one town so that people could understand that words have the

same and opposite meanings.

Home Page

DirectionsThe goal of the game is to understand the difference

between synonyms and antonyms.

To play the game one player must enter the town of Syn-Anto-Gory through the entrance of the city (which is

question #1 on time to play slide). The player must then figure out the correct synonym or antonym for the word

that is displayed in each specific part of town. The player must also spell the word correctly in order to go the next

part of town.

To win the game, the player must go through each part of town once and choose the correct spelling of each

synonym or antonym!!!!!!!!
