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.

Use this resource to reinforce spatial concepts in an interactive way. Students benefit from visual aids that clearly demonstrate the basic prepositions.

The flashcards are great for using full sentences to improve their grammar, vocabulary, and confidence in speaking English. Teachers can use the flashcards in whole-class, small-group, or individual activities.

Start a Sentence Building Challenge. Show a preposition flashcard, and students must write or say a sentence using the correct preposition.

Take a look!

Teachers can use the small cards for quick review sessions, centers, or even take-home practice. One student draws a small card and places the cutouts in the matching position.

Worksheets provide structured exercises that help students internalize prepositions by writing, reading, and coloring.

Color & Draw Prepositions Worksheet. Students will read the sentences and follow the instructions, such as draw and color the rabbit in the correct position.

Fill in the Blank Sentences worksheet where students just write the missing prepositions.

Numbered Picture & Sentence Matching Worksheet for Prepositions. It develops Reading Comprehension. Students must read and understand the sentence to find the correct matching picture, reinforcing both prepositions and sentence structure.

Encourage Critical Thinking when students must analyze the sentence and carefully color the correct rabbit, strengthening problem-solving skills.

Rolling a die adds an element of excitement, turning preposition practice into a game. Using the rabbit and mitten cutouts allows students to physically move the pieces. A student rolls the die and moves the rabbit cutout into the correct position relative to the mitten. Then, they can say a sentence describing the placement (e.g., "The rabbit is next to the mitten.").

Students connect preposition words with visual representations, strengthening vocabulary retention using the mats. Students match the word card to the correct picture on the mat.

Students put together a sentence from the puzzle provided.  Then, place it on the space and reads: (e.g., "The rabbit is behind the mitten.").

A fun board game where students must correctly say a sentence using the preposition to move forward.

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.

There are several worksheets to use along the theme.

To wrap it up, create this flap book which is a fantastic interactive tool because it provides a hands-on activity. The pages are glued in the middle. Students will match the picture to the word. They will lift each flap to reveal a hamburger in different positions relative to the box.

They can also include a sentence frame, such as "The hamburger is ___ the box." under each flap.  As an Interactive Quiz you can call out a preposition, and students find the correct flap.
