Students don’t just learn the names of furniture (like bed); they also practice prepositions (in, on, under, next to, behind), which are essential for describing real-life locations. Prepositions can be tricky for ELLs because they are abstract. Using fun clipart of a monster and a bed makes the concept visual, memorable, and easy to grasp.

 

Story Chain with Flashcards. Place bed and monster flashcards on the board. Start a story here. They must add sentences and write the story as students give more sentences. They draw what is being said and all the sentences for the story.

Mystery Bag Flashcards. Put flashcards inside an envelope or bag (glue the label included). Students pull one without looking, then describe it without saying the name (“The Monster in the bedroom. It’s not behind the bed.”). Class guesses the card.

Small cards are even more flexible than big flashcards, since they’re easy to handle, shuffle, and move around.

Picture-to-Word Match: Have students match pictures of furniture items to the corresponding word cards. Just cut the words out of each card.

Card Toss. Lay out small cards on the table. Students toss a beanbag or token onto a card. They must say the word or make a sentence with that card to “win” it.

Cut and paste Monster Worksheet. Worksheet shows a bed). Give Instructions like: “The red monster is in front of the bed” This builds listening/reading comprehension and creativity.

Build a bedroom. Provide the printable outline of a bedroom. Students place their Monster in the right spot bed, door, etc. Provide cutout monsters. Students cut and glue the monster in the correct place according to what you dictate. I opened the spaces before gluing the worksheets onto a colored paper.

Read & Color Worksheets. Students must both read and follow instructions carefully.

Fill in the Blank Worksheets. Sentences with missing prepositions.

Race Board Game. A board game with a path. Each space shows the monster in a different position. When students land, they must say a full sentence: “The monster is on the bed.”

Roll & Place.Students get a die with prepositions. They roll and move a monster cutout around a printed bed image: “The monster is behind the bed.”

Spin & Place Game. Ready the printable spinner with prepositions (on, in, under, next to, behind).  Students spin, then place a monster cutout on the correct position around a printed bed. Can be played individually or in pairs.

Cut-and-Play Matching Mats. Students cut out monster pieces and match them according to preposition. Reusable if laminated.
