Description
How to Teach Position Words
A frog and a log position words activity is a playful way to teach the little words that tell where things are. Position words such as on, under, above, next to, in front of and behind are prepositions, and children use them every day to follow directions and describe the world around them. Seeing one frog move to six different places around one log makes each word clear and easy to remember.
About the Activity
Children lay the six word cards face up, pick a picture card and say where the frog is. Then they place the picture under the word that tells where, and find two pictures for every word. Each picture shows the same frog and log, so children must look closely at the position, not at the objects. A practice worksheet asks children to read a sentence and draw a frog in the correct place around the log.
What’s Included
- A colorful cover page
- A How to Use page with materials, prep tips and steps
- 12 picture cards showing a frog on, under, above, next to, in front of and behind a log
- 6 word cards
- A 1st grade practice worksheet: read and draw
- Answer keys for the cards and the practice worksheet
Why Kids Love This Activity
First, the friendly frog makes every card feel like a game. Second, matching pictures to words is quick and hands-on, so children can play again and again. Third, drawing their own frogs on the practice page lets children show what each position word means in their own way.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use this kindergarten prepositions activity at a language center, in a small group or at home. Play a quick game of Simon Says with a stuffed animal and a box, or hide a toy and ask children to tell where it is using a position word. Older students can write a sentence for each card, and every card in a frog and a log position words activity fits in one zip-top bag for quick cleanup.
