I think it\u2019s one of those things that comes last in a language because they\u2019re so often attached to phrasal verbs. For example, in French, we say \u2018to get married with\u2019, and in English, we say \u2018to get married to\u2019. Same deal in Spanish- you get married with somebody. It&#8217;s no wonder that using words like \u2018with\u2019 and \u2018of\u2019 and \u2018from\u2019 correctly can be difficult to remember, even though we use them all the time.<\/p>\n<p>Prepositions of location can also be really difficult. There\u2019s a lot to know. \u2018Next to\u2019, \u2019on top of\u2019, \u2018far from\u2019, \u2018close to\u2019, need to be learned, just to name a few. They\u2019re so important and they\u2019re used so frequently. I wanted to share a few activities that you can do in your classes that are fun to teach prepositions of location.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where is Spot? <\/strong>I really like to start with a version of \u2018Where is Spot?\u2019. It doesn\u2019t matter how old my students are, this is a great place to start. This fantastic picture book illustrates really nicely some common prepositions of location. You can see it below in Spanish as well, \u2018\u00bfD\u00f3nde est\u00e1 Spot?\u2019 and in French \u2018O\u00f9 est Spot?\u2019. What\u2019s most fun about these books is that the pages actually move. For example, the clock opens and you can lift up the rug to look under it. It is really nice bringing for those prepositions to life.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/reallifelanguage.com\/reallifelanguageblog\/2016\/11\/01\/teaching-prepositions\/donde-esta-spot\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-86954\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-86954\" src=\"https:\/\/reallifelanguage.com\/reallifelanguageblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/donde-esta-spot.jpg\" alt=\"donde esta spot\" width=\"380\" height=\"396\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reallifelanguage.com\/reallifelanguageblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/donde-esta-spot.jpg 380w, https:\/\/reallifelanguage.com\/reallifelanguageblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/donde-esta-spot-288x300.jpg 288w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 380px) 100vw, 380px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Where Is The Baby?\u00a0<\/strong>After I\u2019ve introduced prepositions, and we\u2019ve noted them (your textbook likely has some), I really like to play this fun game called \u2018Where is the baby?\u2019. Your students might have their notes or books (reference to these prepositions). Everyone closes their eyes, and you hide the baby. Think about places in your classroom that you can hide the baby,- you can hide it under something, on top of something, next to something- you get the picture. After it\u2019s been hidden, they open their eyes and you ask them where the baby is. They have to state it using the preposition. And then we take turns. Someone new comes, everyone closes their eyes, and they hide the baby. It\u2019s really fun and my students beg to play it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/reallifelanguage.com\/reallifelanguageblog\/2016\/11\/01\/teaching-prepositions\/girl-907931_1280\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-86955\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-86955\" src=\"https:\/\/reallifelanguage.com\/reallifelanguageblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/girl-907931_1280-1024x686.jpg\" alt=\"girl-907931_1280\" width=\"980\" height=\"657\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reallifelanguage.com\/reallifelanguageblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/girl-907931_1280-1024x686.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/reallifelanguage.com\/reallifelanguageblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/girl-907931_1280-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/reallifelanguage.com\/reallifelanguageblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/girl-907931_1280-768x514.jpg 768w, https:\/\/reallifelanguage.com\/reallifelanguageblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/girl-907931_1280-690x462.jpg 690w, https:\/\/reallifelanguage.com\/reallifelanguageblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/girl-907931_1280-980x656.jpg 980w, https:\/\/reallifelanguage.com\/reallifelanguageblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/girl-907931_1280.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Draw What I Say. <\/strong>Another fun activity to supplement your exercises in your book is called \u2018<em>Draw what I say<\/em>\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>I have these little white boards, and they\u2019re very easy to get at many discount department stores. You might even have a big shower board cut up into smaller squares. Paper can even be used to do this. The point is for everyone to have their own little board and they\u2019re going to draw what you say. This works really nicely if you\u2019re doing prepositions in the context of a house, or even directions. They\u2019re going to draw something, and you\u2019re going to know immediately by what they\u2019ve done if they\u2019ve gotten it or not. You might have them draw a room, for example. They\u2019re going to put the bed in the middle of the room, for example. Then they\u2019re going to put a nightstand next to the bed and they\u2019re going to put a lamp on top of the nightstand. You get the picture. Whatever vocabulary you\u2019re doing, they are going to draw, following your directions. It\u2019s a great listening comprehension activity as well. You get to check in, assess understanding and clarify their understanding of prepositions right away.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Doll House.<\/strong> Another activity using prepositions in the home is the doll house. I have a doll house with lots of furniture and lots of little home items in it. It\u2019s basically the same idea as draw what you say. You might even want to do it before or after you do draw what I say. You\u2019ve got the doll house, you\u2019ve got the furniture, and you tell them where to put things. Give them commands. Put the table in the middle of the room. Put the plates on the table. Put the sofa next to the door, etc.. It\u2019s a lot of fun.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Simon Says. <\/strong>Another fun way to do prepositions of location that works really nicely when you\u2019re recycling or when you\u2019re introducing commands, is your own version of Simon Says. They\u2019re going to have to do what you say, following your Simon Says rules of putting things around the classroom, or the doll house, or wherever where you say they\u2019re going to go. What\u2019s really fun about this is you can bring this up into a good speaking activity where the students all take students being a leader.<\/p>\n<p>How do you teach prepositions?<\/p>\n<p>Looking for more ideas?\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/reallifelanguage.lpages.co\/language-lessons-5-weeks-of-low-and-no-prep-fun\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">5 Weeks of Low and No Prep Fun<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I once heard someone say that you can tell the difference between a native speaker and a very advanced language learner by their prepositions, and I think it\u2019s true.
