If continuing from previous programs, the students will already be familiar with these prepositions. This worksheet is designed to introduce the complete form of the question and response. Repeat the question many times and have them write out the response in full each time.
10mins: Introduction - Beginner questions: What's your name, age, and where are you from? Have you got any brothers or sisters? Ask questions to each student in a circle. When a student has answered the question, they must ask the next person in the circle the same question.
Choose a student to stand up, and ask the other students: What's his/her name? Where is he/she from? Where is he/she from? Repeat this process until every student has had a turn.
10mins: Review - I like/I don't like - Play 'On the line' - The teacher will indicate two lines on the floor, and have the students stand between them in a straight line. One line is 'left' and the other line is 'right'. Then, the teacher will say 'Go left if you like...' or 'go right if you like...' Students who like what the teacher has said will go to the correct line. The students who don't like what the teacher has said must stay in the middle of the two lines. After the students get the hang of the game, you can eliminate students who go the wrong direction.
05mins: Pre-teach: The preposition song - (if you're not sure how this goes, ask one of the other teachers!)
10mins: Game: 'Place the ball' Ask students to place the ball in a variety of locations in the classroom. Use many different colors and objects to make the tasks more difficult. E.g. Place the ball in front of something yellow, place the ball behind a boy, etc.
10mins: Game: 'Where is the ball?' The teacher will hide the ball in the classroom, and the students will ask questions using prepositions to find it. The student who guesses correctly will get to hide the ball next. Continue until every student gets a turn.
