Print and use this spooky
theme of a haunted house and ghost to capture your students' attention. The
resource provides a clear visual to grasp prepositions (in, on, under, behind,
in front of and "next to") through fun and interactive activities. The
resource caters to different learning styles (visual, auditory, and
kinesthetic).
Each
flashcard portraits a specific preposition with a ghost in relation to a
haunted house or objects (e.g., "The ghost is on the Haunted House").
The
activity promotes spatial understanding by helping students visualize
and use prepositions in meaningful contexts, which is critical for language
development. Use the colored or b/w version of the ghost and house cutout for
the students to recreate each preposition: The ghost is in
front of the house.
The
small cards can be used in different interactive activities. One of them is the
Memory Game where students match the cards, challenging students to find
pairs that match the correct preposition to the image.
Add
the worksheet to the lesson plan. Find Labeling Prepositions: Students
will have to choose the correct preposition (e.g., in, on, under, next to,
behind, in front of), Fill-in-the-Blanks with Visual Clues, write
different questions to each picture.
By
moving the ghost around the haunted house and using prepositions to describe
its location, students actively practice their language skills. Fun to glue and
create a Haunted house poster with all the ghosts in their location.
Print
the Preposition Dice to play several games. Students roll the dice and
then place or move a ghost cutout to play in the location of the Haunted house
cutout. This game provides hands-on interaction with prepositions.
Haunted
House Board Game. Print the board game
with a haunted house theme. Students move their Halloween character game pieces
around a board, landing on locations in the haunted house. Each space has a sentence
to say or a space to move: The ghost is on the Haunted House.
Matching
Card Game. Prepare the mat with pictures of
a haunted house and ghost in different locations. Students take turns drawing
cards with the preposition words and place where it belongs. There is also a
sentence set to play a puzzle game.
Hope
you will love this Game. I used to make different versions for my students in
my teaching days. Print a card per team. There are 4. Have the cards and house
ready for each team.
When
you say, "Go!" the students must read the sentences and place the
cards in the corresponding place to complete the task. The first group who puts
the proper things in the correct location gets a point for their team.
