Wow Words - PowerPoint

The "Wow Words" PowerPoint, created by Teacher of Primary, is an engaging educational resource aimed at enhancing vocabulary in English language learning. It presents a series of slides, each focusing on a common, often overused word. Students are encouraged to think of more vivid or descriptive synonyms that could replace the basic word. For example, instead of the word "nice," alternatives like "awesome," "fantastic," "wonderful," "brilliant," "super," "amazing," and "terrific" are suggested. Each synonym is cleverly revealed by clicking on the petals of a flower, transforming a "boring flower into something more colourful."

Additional slides cover a range of commonly used words such as "big," "small," "said," "happy," "ran," "walked," "went," "sad," "looked," "scared," and "laughed." Each slide offers a variety of synonyms to enrich students' vocabulary and encourage more expressive language use. For "big," words like "gigantic," "huge," "immense," "massive," "hefty," "vast," "enormous," and "colossal" are provided. Similarly, for "small," alternatives include "puny," "tiny," "minuscule," "miniature," "meagre," "teeny," "scanty," and "minute." This interactive and visually stimulating PowerPoint is an excellent tool for teachers to help students expand their vocabulary and make their writing and speech more interesting and varied.
