Begin large group by introducing a word of the day, such as investigate or opposite. Use the word in context to see if the children can figure out what the word means. For example, you might say, “When I got to school this morning, I was so sleepy but now I feel the exact opposite, I feel wide awake. What do you think the word opposite means? Let's see how many opposites we can find today. Look down, Sarah's shoe is untied, the opposite of untied is...tied!” Use the word throughout the day to make it meaningful to the children.
