About this resource
What's inside this resource
This is an educational resource designed to enhance spatial preposition skills amongst younger learners. Suitable for preschoolers through grade-2 students, it's especially fun during the Christmas season.
Included Activities:
- Matching Exercise: Teachers read out a sentence and students must find the corresponding picture that accurately represents that sentence. This activity improves listening and comprehension skills.
- Cloze Task: A gap-filling exercise where students choose appropriate prepositions based on provided photos. Promotes critical thinking and can be done either individually or in groups.
- Barrier Game: An interactive pairing game where a student gives instructions involving placements to another student (ex: "Place Santa behind the snowman"). Enhances both communication and comprehension skills.
All activities are presented without watermarks on original pictures, making them suitable for use in whole class environments, small study groups, or as take-home assignments.
The Christmas Prepositions Activity resource is available as a convenient PDF for easy distribution across digital platforms — perfect for today's digitally-focused education sector. Note: The focus prepositions of these exercises are 'behind', 'between', 'in', 'in front of', 'next to', 'on', over' and ‘under’.In the classroom
