The cat🐈 is on the table.
Prepositions are words📋 that tell you where🤷 something is located or positioned compared to something else.
Prepositions can also tell🗣️ you when⌚ something happened.
We use prepositions all the time🕐 when we are describing people🧑🤝🧑, places🏥, and things⚽!
Let's look 👀at some examples :
1. The man👨 is running🏃♂️ across the street🛣️.
2. The cake🎂 is in the fridge🧊.
3. I practise my guitar🎸 on Tuesdays📅.
4. My mum👩 cut the cake🍰 with a knife🔪.
How do we use prepositions in a sentence?
When using a preposition, we must always ✅ have the subject and verb before ⬅️ it and follow ➡️ it with a noun. You should never ❌ follow➡️ it with a verb!
Let's practise!
1. The plane(subject)✈️ flew(verb) over(preposition) the houses (noun)🏘️.
2. He (subject)👦🏻 sat(verb) on(preposition) the chair(noun)🪑.
1. Preposition Simon💂 Says
Give each other directions such as:
Simon 💂says stand on your chair🪑.
Simon 💂says put your hand ✋ under your chair🪑.
Simon 💂says hold your chair🪑 in front of you.
Play this game with friends👥, parents 👩👩👧👦 or classmates at school🎒!
2. Where's🤷♀️ the toy?
Grab your favourite toy 🧸 and move it around the house🏡. At each place make a sentence🗣️ about where 🤷 your toy is.
For example, 'My toy 🧸 is on the chair🪑. ' or ' My toy 🧸 is under the table.'
For each sentence, you score 1 point🏆. Can you get 10 🔟 points?
3. Scavenger hunt 🔎
Ask mum 👩 or dad 👨🦱 to 5 objects around the house🏡. It can be anything!
Go around finding🔎 the objects that are🙈 hidden. Once they are 🔎found, shout 🗣️ out the sentence 'I found it _______. (the place where you 🔎found it).
For example, I found the box📦 on the sofa.
