About this resource
Description
A preposition is a word such as over, under or behind that tells where or when something happens, and a prepositional phrase is the preposition plus the words that go with it. This on the road to gold prepositions activity turns that grammar skill into a sports-themed race for 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade students.
Each of the twelve task cards shows a short sports sentence, such as The runner jumped over the hurdle. Students find the preposition, write it on the record sheet, and then flip the fold-over card to check the answer and see the whole prepositional phrase. Every correct answer lets them color one stone on the Road to Gold game sheet, racing toward the gold medal at the end. A 3rd grade practice worksheet then gives eight new sentences where students circle each preposition and draw a line under its phrase.
What’s Included
- A colorful cover and a How to Use page
- 12 fold-over self-checking task cards
- A record sheet
- A Road to Gold game sheet
- A 3rd grade practice worksheet with eight sentences
- Answer keys for the task cards and the practice page
Why This Prepositions Activity Helps Kids
First, self-checking cards give students instant feedback, so they fix mistakes right away. Second, writing each preposition and seeing its full phrase helps students understand how the word connects to the rest of the sentence. Third, racing along the road to the gold medal keeps young learners motivated from the first card to the last.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use the on the road to gold prepositions activity at a grammar center, as a partner game, or as a scoot activity around the room. Have students act out each phrase with a pencil and a book. After the game, ask children to write their own sports sentence with a preposition, which makes this a great 1st grade prepositions game for home practice too.
