Materials
One copy of the worksheet cut up for each
group of three to five students
Blank paper for drawing

pictures of sentencescontaining prepositions for other students
to guess.

• Think of a sentence similar to those on the worksheet and draw

it on the board, e.g., The books are on the sofa. As you draw,
encourage studentsto make a sentence to describe what they see.

• Divide students into groups of three to five students. Give each

group a set of sentence cards placed in a pile facedown on the table
and someblank paper for drawing.

• The first student in each group takes a card from the pile, reads

it silently, and draws a picture to illustrate the sentence. The first
student to guess the correctsentence wins the card. Then the next
player takes a card and draws the sentence.
Note: It is important that students say the sentence exactly as
it is written on the card. They must say the nounscorrectly
as well as the prepositions, and they must use the correct form
of be, e.g., The book is on the sofa cannot be accepted instead
of the sentence above.

• Play continues until all thecards have been drawn. The student
with the most cards in each group wins the game.

Extension (10 minutes)
• Ask students, in pairs, to write down as many sentences from the

cards as they can...
