Use the following games to make learning about prepositions fun! There are a variety of games and puzzles to engage students in what can be a rather dry topic. They are particularly useful for ESL students and those with additional needs. However, they can also be used as starter activities for the SATs, SPaG assessment or to introduce sentence openers for descriptive writing at GCSE. There is also an assessment at the end to see whether learners can use prepositions effectively. The games include Find the Missing Letters, Memory Pair Quiz, Sentence Scramble, Jigsaws and more! You can amend the templates to create your own puzzles. At the end of the unit, there are two assessments for beginner and more advanced learners.

Many verbs in German are used in tandem with specific prepositions. Examples of similar combinations in English are: ‘to think about’, ‘to be afraid of’, ‘to suffer from’, etc. Very often, these prepositions have nothing to do with location or direction, but instead link verbs to nouns in a more abstract way. German has its own set of verb-preposition combinations, but since the German learner doesn’t always have the luxury of hearing them being used in a natural environment, these combinations also have to be studied and memorized. By this point, a student may have already run across some of them: ‘denken an’, ‘sorgen für’, ‘Angst haben vor’, and a number of others. This lesson will introduce the student to verb-preposition combinations in a more deliberate and concentrated way, opening the door to greater fluency in both reading and speaking. For students wishing to skim the highlights of this topic, the first two pages provide a good introductory view. These students can skip forward to the “More Example Sentences” section at the bottom of page 6. Here, nine frequently occurring verb-preposition combinations are illustrated in different tenses. For students wishing to delve deeper into the subject, the rest of the document provides plenty of information and new vocabulary to help assist in fluency. Over 70 verb-preposition combinations are provided in this lesson. Twenty of these combinations are illustrated in example sentences, some color coded for clarity. (As a prerequisite, students should already be familiar with how to use reflexive verbs.)

This was originally intended to go with expo 1 and is a simple introduction to French prepositions using pictures of a cat as a memory aid. I have found year 7 classes responded well to this and liked the cat theme! On the slide with a grid of 6 numbered pictures I have played pass the parcel. I put lots of scraps of paper with the numbers 1-6 in a box and pass it round the room to French accordian music. When the music stops the pupil holding the box pulls out a nuber and has to say the relevant French sentence. Works a treat every time! Please leave feedback :)
