Description
A preposition is a small word that does a big job: it tells a reader where something is or when something happens. Words like under, across, during, and without are easy to read but easy to skip, and children often choose one by sound rather than by meaning. This Fill in the Blanks Prepositions Worksheet slows that guess down. Students meet six sentences that are missing a preposition and a word box that holds exactly six choices, so every word gets used once and every blank has one defensible answer.
The sheet runs two pages: page one is the student page and page two is the complete answer key. Part A gives the word box and the six sentences. Part B raises the demand — students read a finished sentence, write the whole prepositional phrase, and then label it where or when. Use this 3rd grade parts of speech worksheet for guided practice, a grammar center, morning work, or homework. Because the answers are supplied, it also makes an easy sub-day plan.
What’s Included
- 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
- Answer key
- A six-word preposition box with six fill-in-the-blank sentences
- 3 prepositional phrase items that ask for the phrase and what it tells
Three things make this Fill in the Blanks Prepositions Worksheet worth the time. First, the closed word box removes the shrug answer — a student who writes under in the wrong sentence will run out of words at the end, so the sheet self-corrects. Second, the sentences are built so that meaning, not sound, picks the winner: the team left for the game without a ball, and the cat sleeps under the table. Third, Part B moves students from a single word to a whole phrase, which is the step their state test actually asks for.
Teachers and parents can keep the practice going away from the paper. Play a quick game of “say it and show it”: call out a preposition and have students place a pencil on, under, beside, or behind a book. Hide a small object and let a partner guess its spot using only prepositional phrases. During read-aloud, stop after a sentence and ask the class to name the phrase that told them where. At home, narrate a chore — “put the cups inside the cabinet” — and let your child point out the preposition.
