Hamburger Prepositions for Primary School English Learner

This resource is part of the Food Unit for Elementary English Language Starters. LINK: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Food-unit-for-Elementary-English-Language-Learners-Starters-11035412

This hamburger prepositions resource gives teachers a hands-on, visual way to teach prepositions of place that young learners can easily understand. By moving and placing the hamburger around the box, students see and say the language at the same time, making prepositions like on, under, and in more meaningful and easier to remember.

There is a set of flashcards with the hamburger in different positions (e.g., on, in, under, next to, behind, in front of, between the box). It also comes with the small cards that students can use for matching games or sentence-building activities. Perfect to review food vocabulary.

Hand in the cutouts of the hamburger and box for the students to, color, cut and glue onto a toilet paper roll. Have them place in the correct position according to sentences (e.g., "Put the hamburger inside the box"). Students can write-the-sentence on their notebooks to reinforce the skills.

Assemble the printable dice with prepositions of the hamburger’s position for a fun "Roll & Place" game than can be played in pairs.

Use the mat with labeled prepositions or the images one, and have the learners place the cutout in the correct spot on the mat. As an option they can write the sentence for extra practice. It works perfectly as a small-group or independent center.
