Objective
The student will identify similarities and differences between the meanings of words.
Materials
 Attribute Analysis student sheet (Activity Master V.027.SS1)
 Pencil
Activity
Students identify semantic features that distinguish one word from another by completing 
an attribute analysis grid. 
1. Provide the student with a student sheet.
2. The student reads the words in the left column (i.e., list of games) and the words in 
 the top row (i.e., list of game attributes). 
3. Reads the games one at a time and places checks in the attribute boxes that apply to that 
 game. For example, across from “Basketball” places checks in boxes for “teams, indoors, 
 outdoors, use ball, and keep score.” 
4. Teacher evaluation
Extensions and Adaptations
 List more categories and attributes on the blank attribute grid (Activity Master V.027.SS2).

Make two copies and laminate.
Analogy Basketball cards (Activity Master V.028.AM2a - V.028.AM2b)
Answers are provided on the card with word underlined.
Activity
Students complete analogies by playing a basketball game.
1. Place two basketball hoops at the center. Place analogy basketball cards face down in a stack. 
2. Taking turns, student one draws the top card from the stack and reads the phrase 
 and answer choices to student two (e.g., dog is to mammal as eagle is to _______. 
 bird or book).
3. Student two chooses one of the words to fill in the blank and repeats the phrase with 
 the answer (i.e., dog is to mammal as eagle is to bird).
4. If correct, student one gives the card to student two who places it on his hoop. If 
 incorrect, the card is placed at the bottom of the stack.
5. Reverse roles.

Objective
The student will identify words to complete analogies.
Materials
Analogy word triangles (Activity Master V.029.AM1a - V.029.AM1b)
There are two triangles marked “A” and “B.” One student will use the “A” triangle 
and the other will use the “B” triangle.
Analogy cards (Activity Master V.029.AM2a - V.029.AM2c)
Answer key (Activity Master V.029.AM3a - V.029.AM3b)
An answer key is provided.
Game pieces (e.g., counters)
Activity
Students complete analogies playing a completion game.
1. Place analogy cards face down in a stack. Provide each student with a different 
 analogy word triangle.
2. Taking turns, student one draws the top card from the stack and reads the phrase 
 (e.g., Doctor is to patients as teacher is to ______).
3. Student one looks for the word that completes the analogy on his analogy word triangle 
 (i.e., students). If found, reads the analogy with the word (i.e., Doctor is to patients as 
 teacher is to students) and places game piece on the word. Places analogy card in a discard 
 pile. If not found, places analogy card on bottom of stack.
4. Reverse roles.
5. Continue until triangles are filled.
6. Teacher evaluation
