 Preposition Charades (30 minutes)

 How to Play

•  Write down various prepositions (such as on, under, behind, in front of, between, etc.) on small pieces of paper.
•  Have the children take turns picking a paper and acting out a preposition without speaking, using their body to show the action.
•  The rest of the class guesses which preposition the child is acting out.

 Examples:

•  Acting out the preposition on could involve pretending to place an object on a table.
•  Acting out under could mean crouching or hiding under a chair.
•  Acting out between could involve standing between two objects.

• Have them write 3 sentences that use the prepositions: in, on, under , at)

Review Questions/Assessment/Tasks (15 minutes)

• Ask students to give their own examples of sentences using the prepositions they learned.
• Simple oral questions like "Where is the book if it is on the desk?

Expected Learning  Outcome

Knowledge building

1. Definition & Function – Students learn that prepositions show relationships between nouns/pronouns and other words 

(e.g., place : "on the table,"

           time: "at 5 PM,"

           direction :  "to school").  

2. Common Prepositions – Exposure to basic prepositions (in, on, at, under, over, near) and their usage in sentences.  

3.Contextual Recognition – Identifying prepositions in written/oral examples (e.g., underlining "at" in "She works at the

Skill Building

1. Active Listening & Comprehension – Following commands in Preposition Action(e.g., "Stand beside the desk") develops auditory processing.  

2.Speaking & Sentence Formation – Creating original sentences during review (e.g., "The lamp is on my desk") boosts verbal expression.  

3. Kinesthetics Learning – Charades reinforces spatial awareness by acting out prepositions (e.g., crouching to demonstrate "under").
