Teaching prepositions to your learners is crucial for constructing basic sentences. Students will learn to describe locations between the robot and a box.  This **Robots Toys Unit for Elementary English** brings vocabulary to life with visual materials, interactive games, speaking prompts, and ready-to-use activities designed for ESL/EFL learners. Whether you want to practise labeling, speaking, or simple sentence structures, these robot activities make language learning fun, meaningful, and accessible.

Show a flashcard with a robot in different positions of location (in, on, under, behind, in front of, next to, between) and pronounce it clearly. Have the students repeat after you as you show the relation between the robot and the box. All the images are relatable to the unit. Show a flashcard and ask students to identify the preposition. Encourage them to make sentences using the illustrated scene after you model one: The robot is in front of the box.

Reinforce with the Robot Prepositions vocabulary with Worksheets: have the students learn the correct use of prepositions for writing grammatically correct sentences.

Print several dice and have them ready for the stduents to color the word and robot according to the picture that shows up.

This is a matching worksheet that provides a list of sentences with all the prepositions and a set of robot pictures. Students will have to draw a line from each sentence to the correct robot. They will practice Word recognition and spelling.  

Find Fill-in-the-Blanks with a preposition worksheet. There is also a review of the parts of the face worksheet.

Play a robot memory game where students find the matching pairs.

Use the printable cutouts to prepare this fun activity to help improve listening and speaking. Plan your Interactive Demonstration by gluing the colored cutouts to a box or any other item and a robot to a craft stick. Students should do the same with their cutouts after coloring them.  Ask the students to describe the position of the objects using the prepositions: The robot is in the box.
