Who’s it for?

This resource has been designed for children in the early years (depending on understanding/ability), years 1 and 2 as well as older learners needing to revisit/explore these prepositions further.

Preparation

Print out the toadstool preposition 'scene sheets' (pages 2 to 21) you wish to focus on, as well as page 1 and the last two (Answer) pages (22 and 23). Laminate the scene sheets and the 'Answers' sheets. Cut up the fairies on page 1 and laminate these. Separate laminated fairies, ensuring edges are rounded and smooth. Add a small dot of blue tac to the back of each fairy.

How to use this resource

Place laminated sheets (pages 2-21) with cut out and laminated fairies and place together on a table top/carpet for learners to access. Learners take a fairy and position as the preposition word label above each toadstool indicates.

Answers (pages 22/23)

Answers are provided as a 'guide', however these may vary for some prepositions, e.g. 'beside' can be 'either' side. Your learner/s should be encouraged to explain their thinking.

These Answer sheets can made available to learners to check their own learning once the activity is complete, encouraging autonomy.

Suggestion

A tiny ball of blue tac could be secured to the back of each fairy image to keep learners placement in position once they have completed this activity.
