Great English Preposition Games for Your ESL Lesson Plans

Hey English Teachers...if you are looking for English Preposition Games to spice up your ESL lessons...you are in the right place. I was looking for some to use with my English students...and here is a quick list of some of the most interesting preposition games and activities that I came up with. Use and let me know how they work for ya! ;)

Prepositions GameLevel: Medium to Difficult

Prepare a text that contains prepositions. Take out the propositions and print them on a separate sheet, then cut this sheet so that each preposition is on a piece of paper, then put all of them in an envelope . Divide the class into groups and give each group an envelope. Tell the students that you are going to read a text and whenever you raise your hand they should bring a suitable preposition and put it on your desk and that the fastest team would get points. Read the text with each groups' order and cancel a point for each mistake. Finally read the text with correct prepositions. You can play this game with adj as well as a,the and an.

Student Prepositions

This is a really fun and simple game for teaching prepositions. It requires no preparation or materials.

After you have taught your prepositions (on, under, above, next to, etc...), break your class into teams of 2 (maybe 3). In each group designate one student as student A and one student as student B.

You're going to need some space for the next part. You will saying sentences such as "Student A is in front of Student B". The students then have to put themselves in those positions. First team to finish gets a point.

The students should wear some sort of identification. you could tape a piece of colored paper to their shirts or something like that. this helps to keep track of which one is student A and which is student B.

That's it!

One fun "game" I've done with my basic level ESL classes is to go outside and have students stand in a circle. We pass a soccer ball to, beside, between, etc. Then I ask all students to turn to the right (still in a circle, but all facing right) and pass in front of or behind. We're lucky enough to have a soccer field, but this could easily be done anywhere with large enough space. This is also a great way for the students to learn each other's names!
