Objective

By the end of this lesson, the student will be able to understand and use the prepositions "in," "on," "under," and "above" in sentences. They will be able to identify and describe the positions of objects using these prepositions through fun activities.

Materials and Prep

  • Some small toys or household items (like a toy car, a book, a ball, etc.)
  • A large piece of paper or a whiteboard
  • A marker or crayon
  • A comfortable space to play and learn

Before the lesson, gather the items and ensure there is enough space for the activities. Make sure the student understands what "prepositions" are in simple terms.

Activities

  • Treasure Hunt

    Hide the small toys or household items around the room. Ask the student to find each item by giving clues using the prepositions. For example, "The ball is under the table!" This will help them practice using "under" in a fun way.

  • Drawing Fun

    On the large piece of paper or whiteboard, draw a simple scene with a house, a tree, and a table. Ask the student to place items in the drawing based on your instructions. For example, "Draw the cat in the house" or "Draw the bird above the tree."

  • Story Time

    Read a short story or make one up together that includes the prepositions "in," "on," "under," and "above." After the story, ask the student to point out where they heard the prepositions. This will help reinforce their understanding in context.

Talking Points

  • "What do you think a preposition is? It's a word that tells us where something is!"
  • "Look at this toy car. If I say it is 'on' the table, where is it? Yes, it's sitting on top!"
  • "Now, if I put the car 'under' the table, where did it go? Right! It's hiding below the table!"
  • "If I say the bird is 'above' the tree, where is the bird? Yes, it's high up in the sky!"
  • "Can you tell me something that is 'in' your backpack? Great! It's inside your backpack!"
  • "Let's remember: 'in' means inside, 'on' means on top, 'under' means below, and 'above' means high up!"
  • "Now, let's play and use these words! Can you find something that is 'under' your chair?"
