Tips for using Black? White! Day? Night! A Book of Opposites with children:
Talking about opposites can be a fun game. Children may have fun acting out opposite words. For example, reaching high and reaching low. Another example would be moving fast and moving slow. As children become more familiar with concepts like colors, sizes, shapes, and opposites, they begin to sort and classify objects, an important skill for school success.
Tips for using Black? White! Day? Night! A Book of Opposites with families:
When reading the book, give the first item in the pair of opposites, and then see if children can guess the opposite word. Parents can point out opposites in their environment, like the “walk” and “don’t walk” signs at an intersection. With families, brainstorm other opposites that are found in everyday activities. Encourage families to turn these everyday activities into teachable moments.
