Learning prepositions of place is essential for your learners because it helps them develop key communication skills and a deeper understanding of how objects relate to each other in space.

Young learners will use the flashcards with prepositions to describe where animals are. Prepositions help students form complete sentences and improve their fluency. They will write yes/no questions for each flashcard (e.g., "Is the monkey on the box?"). After writing, students can ask those questions to a partner, strengthening their ability to use prepositions in spoken language.

Students must observe the image carefully to form the puzzle sentence, improving their visual literacy and understanding of spatial relationships.

Start the fun Copycat Drawing & Writing Activity. Students draw the image from a small card and write the corresponding sentence. This is multi-sensory learning (seeing, drawing, writing) to boost recall.

Activities like placing objects in a specific location improve both language and spatial thinking. Students must connect the preposition word to positioning the monkey and the box in that correct location, after throwing the die.

Worksheets give students multiple opportunities to practice prepositions in different contexts. Students can work at their own pace, allowing for differentiation based on ability levels. Just choose the correct one for your students.

Worksheets provide a way for teachers to assess individual understanding.  By reading sentences and matching them to pictures, students improve comprehension.

Worksheets will keep students engaged while deepening their understanding of prepositions.

Matching mats help students recognize and decode words, improving their sight word recognition.

Students will practice sentence structure in context, by saying where they landed on the board game.

If students write sentences in the flip book, they practice sentence formation and grammar. It’s a tactile activity, which helps kinesthetic learners absorb information better.
