How to play it
• Divide sts into two teams (A and B). Assign each member of the
teams a number (e.g., S1, S2).
• Read out the first sentence without saying the preposition (e.g.,
“I always get up [BLANK] 6 a.m. on weekdays.”). S1 from each
team runs to find the card containing the missing preposition.
The first S to reach the correct card gets a point for his or her
team.
• Play the game until you use all the sentences. The team with
the most points wins.
• Variation 1: Use this game to review prepositions of
place or time, modals, and auxiliaries (e.g., do, did,
have).
• Variation 2: If sts cannot move freely around the room,
they can point to the correct wall.
