Draw pictures that illustrate the concepts behind a given number of prepositions in small boxes. Write the corresponding prepositions in different boxes. After making enough copies for every student and cutting the boxes out, have students pair off and arrange the sheets face-down in a square Each student will take a turn flipping over two sheets and try to match the written prepositions with the corresponding picture.
Create slips of paper with prepositions written on them and mix them up in a hat or other container. Students will each come up and pick a slip from the hat. The student will then attempt to convey the meaning of the preposition through actions and gestures without using any words. You may spit the class into teams and award points for correct guesses if you think it will increase student participation.
Break up the class into two different teams, which will be necessary for this game due to the potential noise level. Tell one student to step outside for a moment and hide a small object or even a piece of candy somewhere in the class. When the student returns to the class, the members of his team will try to direct him to the object using only prepositions. For example, if the object was under a table, they might give him preposition "under" if he started looking in the area of the table. If the student finds the object within one minute, give his team a point.
Before class begins, hide multiple similar objects around the room. When students enter, describe the object you used and instruct them to search the class for them. When they have found an object, students should write down as many prepositional phrases as they can describing its location. The student who has the most prepositional phrases after 10 minutes is the winner.
