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.

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.

Printable flap book. Each flap can include a sentence and a picture showing the position, use the template provided, encouraging students to read and connect ideas.

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

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.

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.

There is a preposition puzzle where students match a sentence (e.g., "The hamburger is in the box") with the correct picture.

Print a board game where students move along a path and must say or write a sentence using the preposition shown on the space (e.g., "The hamburger is under the box").

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.

Town Small Cards for elementary ESL

This resource for ENL teachers is included in Town Flashcards at this Link: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Town-Flashcards-for-Elementary-ESL-3713783

The small cards can be used for pair work, small group games, or individual practice, making lessons more engaging. Smaller size makes them more portable and convenient for teachers with limited storage space

Play "Listen and Number the Building".

Students will listen to name or descriptions of different buildings and number correctly the small cards using the number cutouts. Place the small cards with buildings on the streets.

Teacher: The restaurant is number 3!

As a variation students can play in pairs: One student describes, and the other numbers the buildings.

Look at the video:

Town Map Placement Game

Students will listen to location-based cues and correctly place their small town cards on a the designated space at the streets. Lay out the printable streets. Distribute the Small Cards.
The teacher calls out location instructions: "Place the park next to the school."
This kind of activity reinforces prepositions and directions in a hands-on way.

Just Like in this video!

Guess the Building!

 Students will listen to clues and guess the correct town building from the small cards or flashcards. Place the small town unit cards (e.g., hospital, school, park, supermarket, etc.) on the streets templates. Select a Game Leader who will be the clue giver. The leader secretly picks a building card without showing or telling the others. The leader describes the building without saying its name. The other students listen carefully and raise their hands or call out their answer. This game Improves listening and critical thinking as students analyze clues.

Video example:

Encourage speaking and writing as you ask questions:

Teacher: Where is the library?
Students: It is between the post office and the pet shop.
Students can also write the questions and answers on their notebooks.

Take a look!

Make sentences using the expression There is.

Students can describe locations using the cards.

Town Flashcards for elementary ESL

 I made 190 flashcards for the Town theme and included places, community, stores, land features, neighborhood, places for leisure activities. And here are several ideas to promote speaking using flashcards.

Link: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Town-Flashcards-for-Elementary-ESL-3713783

The language objective is to learn the name of the places in a town using the flashcards. Students will learn the vocabulary related to places they encounter daily such as, school, park, supermarket, making the lessons more meaningful and relevant.

Use the demonstratives "This" and "That" to build Understanding of Proximity.  Use the point finger to introduce this and that.

Teacher: This is a bank. That is the cinema.

Hand in the point finger and using more flashcards, have the students say the sentences.

Make abstract grammar rules more tangible by using visual aids like the town flashcards to start a Drill. Nominate an individual student to be the driller. The class or the group members have to read each flashcard.

Give the flashcards to individual students.

Teacher: Where are you?

Student: I am at the police station. (shows the card) This is the police station.

I use my Commands Flashcards for this activity. LINK: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Classroom-Commands-Flashcards-1816475

Place a location flashcard on each seat or desk. Teacher: Pam, run to the police station.

Teacher: Kim, Go to the hospital.

Name more town places. Put several flashcards and have students name a place in your town or city. Write the place under each flashcard. Have the students make another list with more flashcards. Here I wrote examples of my hometown.

Sort the flashcards by buildings, stores, work places, nature.

Make it a hands-on learning experience. Speaking activity with- Let´s go ! -Have the students make sentences using Let´s go to.

Teacher: Let´s go to the museum!

Students: Let´s go to the park!

Identifying locations using There is. Play Guess game using interrogatives. Have 5 students come to the front and give a flashcard to each one and don´t let them show the flashcards to the class, but they do have to know what flashcards are playing. The class has to guess the buildings in town.
Students: Is there a library?
Student in the front: Yes, there is. (shows the card)
Students: Is there a museum?
Student in the front: No, there isn´t.

 

Use of the structure There are to describe the town. Place several town flashcards on the board. Have a student come up one at a time and draw as you say. The students will draw the scene on their notebooks and write the sentences.

Teacher: There are two cars at the post office. There are four flowers at the restaurant. There are three giraffes at the zoo.

Where is the family? I added a set of family flashcards to make sentences with the town flashcards.
Teacher: Where is Mother?
Students: Mother is in the shoe store.

Or, you place more place flashcards and tell students where the family members are and have them attach the corresponding flashcard.

Teacher: Father is in the restaurant.

The unit naturally integrates location-based language (e.g., "next to," "between," "across from"), reinforcing spatial awareness and preposition use. Where?. Place several flashcards on the board.  Draw Main Street and start asking questions.
Teacher: Excuse me, It is on Main Street, between the fire station and the library.
Teacher: Where is the library ?
Students: It is on Main Street, next to the hospital.

 

Use of the adjectives On the left, on the right. Draw the street and arrows, place a flashcard on the right and another on the left.

Teacher: The bus station is on the right. The beauty salon is on the left.

Have students write questions to ask you about your street.

Student: Is there a bus stop?
Teacher: No, there isn´t.

Where and what number? A good review for the numbers 1 to 20.

Place several flashcards on both sides of the road and add a write on each one.
Teacher: Where is the apartment building?
Students: It´s on the right.
Teacher: What number is it?
Students: It´s number 14.

Use of the preposition At the corner of. Draw a street intersection, if it is a known one of your town the better. Add the flashcards.

Teacher: The school is at the corner of First Avenue and Main Street.

Have the students draw more examples and write the sentences. Then dictate to a student that will go to the board and place the flashcards.

Draw a street on the board. Give a set of flashcards to several students. Have them place the cards in the correct position on the street. Give them a written text where the cards should go. The students have to discuss how to place them.

The shoe store is on Main Street. The clothing store is next to the shoe store. The hotel is next to the shoe store. The shoe store is between the clothing store and the Hotel. The bowling alley is across the street. The planetarium is next to the bowling alley.
