I was to teach my students of primary grades prepositions.
An idea came to my mind..
I thought why not make it a listening & speaking activity. I have managed to use some of the prepositions.
Kindly Note: I did not tell the children that I will be doing prepositions with them.
I asked the children to follow my drawing instructions.
Learning objective: Children learn prepositions unconsciously. Listen with concentration. Understand the positions.
Here are my instructions:
- Open a blank page in your note book.
- Draw a medium sized square in the middle of the page.
- Draw a rectangle inside the square with its shorter side touching the bottom of the square in the middle.
- Draw two small squares inside the bigger square at the same level on the either side of the rectangle.
- Draw a triangle on top of the square.
- On top of the triangle draw a small flag.
- Draw two trees beside the big square.
- Draw a swing inbetween two branches.
- Draw three steps below and touching the big square.
- Under the trees draw a small pond with fish swimming.
- Draw a few birds above the flag.
- Draw a few mangoes hanging from the trees.
- Draw a fence around the big trees.
- Draw mangoes lying on the ground.
- Draw the sun over the birds
