Synonyms and Spelling Fun

Help the Coastal Wildlife Centre prepare a clear, lively notice for visitors. Read each task carefully. A synonym has the same or nearly the same meaning as another word. Check every spelling before you finish.

Choose the word that keeps the sentence’s meaning closest to the bold word.

1.The little penguin looked cold after its swim. Which word is a synonym for cold?
  • chilly
  • sunny
  • wet
2.Lachlan moved quietly past the resting seal. Choose the closest synonym for quietly.
  • silently
  • brightly
  • quickly
3.Match each word in the left column with its synonym on the right.

  • shout
  • end
  • yell
  • finish
  • smart
  • start
4.Write a synonym for happy that would fit this sentence: “The children felt ______ when the rescued turtle returned to the sea.”

Spelling checkpoint

Australian English often uses spellings such as colour and favourite. Spot the errors and choose the correct forms.

5.A draft notice says, “The baby turtle was frendly.” Correct the misspelt word.
6.Circle the correctly spelt Australian English word: color or colour.
  • color
  • colour
7.Choose the correctly spelt word to complete the sign: “Please stay together _____ the path is busy.” becaus or because?

8.The visitor notice has one spelling mistake: “Our favourite animals live near the beech.” In this sentence, one word is misspelt. Correct beech to the word meaning a sandy shore.

Make the notice sparkle

Use synonyms and accurate spelling to improve a short piece of writing.

9.Replace big with a more interesting synonym: “A big wave rolled towards the shore.” Write the whole sentence with your replacement.
10.True or false? Quick and rapid are synonyms, and both are spelt correctly.
