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.

The 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-AntoGory 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!!!!!!!!
