Materials
Main Aims

Students will be able to use the prepositions "above," "across," "along," and "around" correctly in sentences.
Subsidiary Aims
-
Students will be able to identify the prepositions in context. Students will be able to use the prepositions in simple sentences.
Procedure (25-35 minutes)
Watch a video about Prepositions.
Read a short story or poem that uses the target prepositions. For example: "The bird flew above the tree. The squirrel ran across the road. The ant walked along the path. The dog chased its tail around and around." Discussion: Ask comprehension questions about the story, such as: "Where did the bird fly?" "What did the squirrel do?"
Point to objects in the classroom and say sentences using the target prepositions. For example: "The ceiling is above the floor." "The window is across from the door." (Have students repeat the sentences together.)
Pass the sentence: In this game, students are divided into two teams. Each team has a ball placed on a desk or table. The teacher shows a picture or sentence on a screen or whiteboard. When the teacher says "Go!", the player closest to the desk on each team must find the corresponding sentence, say it aloud, and pass the information to the next teammate. The sentence must be passed from player to player in a chain until the last team member says it. Once the last player has said the sentence, they must race to the desk and grab their team's ball. The first team to successfully complete the sentence relay and grab their ball is declared the winner.
Tower Blocks Race Game: In this game, students are divided into two teams. The teacher displays a sentence or picture on the board. All students must answer and say the sentence. When the teacher says "Go!", the teams will take turns placing blocks to build a tower. However, each player must say the sentence aloud before placing their block. The winner is the first team to successfully build a tower of 10 blocks without collapsing.
