Teacher Guide
This worksheet can be used to revise some of the main prepositions if they already know them. It is best accompanied by some movement games (e.g. "stand behind your chair" "crawl under the table" etc) or demonstrations with classroom objects (e.g. "the pencil is in the pencil case", "put the scissors between the books" etc).
Encourage the students to use the complete sentence when identifying the position of the ball.
To complete the worksheet, have them first fill in the crossword, choosing each word by the number of letters. Then they should label each picture with the number that matches the crossword position.
