Introduction to Prepositions

Prepositions are words that show the relationship between a noun or pronoun and other words in a sentence. They are used to indicate location, direction, time, and spatial relationships.

Prepositions for Space

When talking about space, prepositions such as 'in', 'on', 'under', 'over', 'between', and 'behind' are commonly used to describe the position of objects.

Game: Space Prepositions Challenge

Divide the class into small groups and give each group an A3 paper and a marker. Ask them to draw a simple space scene and label the objects using appropriate prepositions.

Presenting the Space Scenes

Each group presents their space scene to the class, explaining the use of prepositions to describe the positions of objects.

Worksheet: Space Prepositions Quiz
