Procedure:

Introduc on (10 minutes):

Begin by explaining to the students that today they will be learning about preposi ons, which are
words that tell us the posi on or loca on of objects.

Show a picture card (e.g., a ball) and ask students to describe its posi on in rela on to another
object (e.g., "Is the ball on the table or under the table?").

Write the words "on" and "under" on the poster or whiteboard to introduce preposi ons visually.

Preposi on Explora on (15 minutes):

Display several picture cards represen ng different objects and loca ons.
Call on individual students to come up and place the object in a specific loca on using a preposi on
(e.g., "Put the ball beside the box," "Put the book on the shelf").

As each student places the object, encourage the class to repeat the preposi on aloud.

Preposi on Song (op onal) (5 minutes):

Introduce a catchy preposi on song to the class that highlights common preposi ons and their
usage.

Sing the song together, emphasizing the ac ons and gestures that accompany each preposi on (e.g.,
poin ng up for "above," crouching down for "under").

Repeat the song a few mes to reinforce the preposi ons.

Preposi on Match-Up (15 minutes):

Distribute the flashcards with preposi ons wri en on them among the students.

Spread out the picture cards on the floor or a large table.

Instruct the students to match the preposi on flashcards with the corresponding picture cards by
placing them next to or on the correct objects.

Monitor and provide assistance as needed.

Preposi on Relay Race (15 minutes):

Divide the class into two teams.

Set up a relay race course with markers indica ng different loca ons (e.g., "on," "under," "behind,"
"beside").

The first student from each team runs to a marker, picks up a flashcard with a preposi on, and places
it in the correct loca on.

The student then runs back to the team and tags the next teammate to con nue the race.

The team that completes the relay race first wins.

Conclusion and Review (10 minutes):

Review the preposi ons learned during the lesson by asking ques ons and poin ng to objects in the
classroom.

Use the picture cards to prompt students to provide sentences using preposi ons (e.g., "Tell me a
sentence using the word 'under' and the picture of the box.").

Recap the lesson's main points and congratulate students on their par cipa on and progress.
