Lesson Objectives

Students will be able to correctly use common place prepositions (in, on, under, next to, behind, in front of) to describe positions in simple sentences and follow instructions to place objects correctly in the classroom.

Introduction to Prepositions

Understanding Prepositions of Place

• Prepositions tell us where things are.

• We use them to talk about places.

• They help in giving directions.

• Prepositions show how things connect.

• They are not the same as adverbs.

• Use prepositions with nouns or pronouns.

• This makes sentences clear.

• Learning them helps write better English.

Listen and Learn: The Prepositions Song

Listen carefully to the song and follow the lyrics to find the objects.

Find The Place

(Verse 1)

The book is on the desk, it’s waiting for your eyes. The bag is in the corner, where the morning shadows rise. The teacher stands in front of us, the leader of the line. The teacher stands in front of us, the leader of the line. We put the messy papers in the box, to look so fine.

(Chorus) In, In! On, On! Under, Under! Next to, behind, in front of! Next to, behind, in front of! In, In! On, On! Under, Under! Find the place and move your body!

(Verse 2)

The clock is on the wall, above the open door. The backpack is behind the chair, not lying on the floor. The window is in front of us, we look out at the sky. The pencil is next to the pen, we wave a quick goodbye.

(Chorus)

In, In! On, On! Under, Under! Next to, behind, in front of! Next to, behind, in front of! Next to, behind, in front of! In!

(Bridge)

In, In! On, On! Under, Under! Find the place and move your body! Find the place and move your body! Find the place and move your body!

(Outro) The ball is under the table... Great job today!
