Halloween and the Haunted House Prepositions

 This resource is included in the House Unit for Elementary-Starters at this link: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Rooms-of-the-House-Unit-for-Elementary-ELL-10395114

Print and use this spooky theme of a haunted house and ghost to capture your students' attention. The resource provides a clear visual to grasp prepositions (in, on, under, behind, in front of and "next to") through fun and interactive activities. The resource caters to different learning styles (visual, auditory, and kinesthetic).

Each flashcard portraits a specific preposition with a ghost in relation to a haunted house or objects (e.g., "The ghost is on the Haunted House").

The activity promotes spatial understanding by helping students visualize and use prepositions in meaningful contexts, which is critical for language development. Use the colored or b/w version of the ghost and house cutout for the students to recreate each preposition: The ghost is in front of the house.

Use the flashcards as a writing activity.

Use the ghost cutout and play Ghost Hunt (Hide and Seek with Prepositions). Hide the ghost cutout around the classroom (e.g., under desks, on the bookshelf, next to the door). Have students search for the ghost and describe its location using prepositions ("The ghost is under the chair").

 

The small cards can be used in different interactive activities. One of them is the Memory Game where students match the cards, challenging students to find pairs that match the correct preposition to the image.

Add the worksheet to the lesson plan. Find Labeling Prepositions: Students will have to choose the correct preposition (e.g., in, on, under, next to, behind, in front of), Fill-in-the-Blanks with Visual Clues, write different questions to each picture.

By moving the ghost around the haunted house and using prepositions to describe its location, students actively practice their language skills. Fun to glue and create a Haunted house poster with all the ghosts in their location.

Print the Preposition Dice to play several games. Students roll the dice and then place or move a ghost cutout to play in the location of the Haunted house cutout. This game provides hands-on interaction with prepositions.

Haunted House Board Game. Print the board game with a haunted house theme. Students move their Halloween character game pieces around a board, landing on locations in the haunted house. Each space has a sentence to say or a space to move: The ghost is on the Haunted House.

Matching Card Game. Prepare the mat with pictures of a haunted house and ghost in different locations. Students take turns drawing cards with the preposition words and place where it belongs. There is also a sentence set to play a puzzle game.

Hope you will love this Game. I used to make different versions for my students in my teaching days. Print a card per team. There are 4. Have the cards and house ready for each team.

When you say, "Go!" the students must read the sentences and place the cards in the corresponding place to complete the task. The first group who puts the proper things in the correct location gets a point for their team.

The fruit and vegetable small cards are easy to carry and store, making them convenient on-the-go teaching. You might have seen on the blog that these cards can be used for a wide range of activities such as, group work, pair work, individual practice.

Small cards encourage interactive learning. Play Guess the Card:

One student picks a card without pointing at it, and describes the fruit or vegetable for the players to guess.

Players: Is it yellow?

Student: NO!

Players: Is it a fruit or vegetable?

Student: a vegetable.

Players: Is it green?

Student: No!

Players: Is it a carrot?

Student: Yes, it is!

Small cards can be used for different skill levels by adjusting the activities. Students can just write the word for beginners or write more complex sentence building for advanced students). 

Small cards allow students to practice independently by writing the words on a small board.

Play Circle the other words within a fruit and vegetable word. There are several. Students write the word on the card and then find the other word such as this example: pear, there is the word ear.

Give each student a "bingo" board with spaces to write any of the fruit and vegetables. The teacher calls out the fruit and vegetables using the small cards, and students crosses out the words they hear.

Matching Pairs with Flashcards. Use the small cards and larger flashcards together. Students match the small cards to the corresponding large flashcards as quickly as possible.

 Students categorize the small cards into "fruits" and "vegetables". This can be done in pairs or groups as a race.

Use the small cards in sentence-building activities. For example, "I like bananas,". Here is the video:

Halloween cat and hat Prepositions for Elementary ELL

 This resource is included at this LINK:   https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Pets-Unit-for-Elementary-ELL-Starters-10780015

Give your students Preposition practice to help them become more fluent using the Halloween theme.

 The Halloween theme always captures students' attention. Print the flashcards to visually establish the relationship between the cat and the hat in various positions helping students connect the vocabulary.

Teachers can use the small cards in different ways. Cut the word and have the students match to the picture on the other part.

Worksheets allow students to apply what they’ve learned in this practice.

The worksheets have this visual connection to enhance memory retention.

 Matching mat. Students can work independently, reinforcing their understanding of prepositions using this mat where they match the picture to the preposition.

The puzzle is based on constructing grammatically correct sentences.

Add writing to this puzzle activity.

Students will use preposition vocabulary to advance on the game board path. Players roll a die and move their marker piece to the corresponding space. Some spaces have a picture of a cat and a hat in a different prepositional relationship. The player must say the correct preposition or a sentence to stay on that space. If they get it wrong, they move back one space.

The dice makes preposition learning a hands-on experience. It helps to keep focus on sentence structures by having students use prepositions in complete sentences like "The cat is under the hat", enhancing their speaking skills. This kind of games makes prepositions easier to understand.
