Bring movement and fun into your ESL classroom with this Food-Themed Prepositions of Place activity! This interactive resource helps students understand spatial relationships using 12 common prepositions alongside engaging food vocabulary. It’s a perfect hands-on way for learners to strengthen grammar, vocabulary, and speaking skills while staying active.
Students will practice using prepositions like in, on, under, in front of, behind, next to, between, above, below, over, to the left, and to the right. They’ll have fun placing picture cards around the classroom and creating sentences that describe the location of each object in relation to other items. The movement-based approach makes grammar practice memorable and interactive!
