Exploring Prepositions with Bear Hunt

What do you already know about prepositions?

Learning Objective

At the end of the lesson you will use prepositions to describe where things are or what something is doing, using examples from 'We're Going on a Bear Hunt.'

What is a Preposition?

A preposition is a word that tells us where or when something is. For example: in, on, under, over, through.

Through the Grass

In the story, the family goes through the long, wavy grass. 'Through' is a preposition showing where they go.

Over the Bridge

They go over a bridge. 'Over' tells us their position as they cross.

In the Mud

They get in the thick, oozy mud. 'In' is the preposition here, describing where they are.

Using Prepositions

We can use prepositions to describe where we are: under the table, beside a tree, behind a door.

Let's Practise!

Can you use prepositions to describe where you are right now? Try it with 'on', 'under', or 'next to'.
