Activity 89- Playing with Children- Prepositions



Practicing prepositions of place has never been that fun for young learners! 

Level: Beginner
Skills: Listening and Speaking
Material Needed: Colored balloons

Instructions:

Give each child a colorful balloon. Give instructions about where the balloon should be placed according to the prepositions they have learned. Also add different colors to the commands.

Examples: “If you have a red balloon, put it on the table.”
                  “If you have a yellow balloon, put it under the teacher’s table.”
                  “Put the green balloons behind our classroom door.”

Tip: remember that it’s always important to model the activities before you actually ask students to perform the.

Variation 1: The teacher can also put students in charge of the activity by inviting a student to say the commands. They will love it!

Variation 2: For prepositions, you can also have different colors of Hula Hoops, for they practice “in”, “out”, “through”, “over” and so on in a fun and different way.
