Prepositions with reporting verbs activities

Put the words that you are given into columns by the preposition that they take. Some columns should be longer than the others. If the same word is given twice, it can go in more than one column.

Use the preposition heading cards to help check your columns, then check with the columns on an un-cut-up copy of the worksheet or as a class.

 

Prepositions with reporting verbs pelmanism

Turn all the verb cards face down and take turns trying to find pairs of cards which go with the same preposition. Stop when only the six cards without matches are left.

 

Prepositions with reporting verbs snap

Deal out the cards but don’t look at them. Take turns putting a card from your pack face up on the table. If the last two cards turned face up take the same preposition, race to shout “Snap!” If they do match, you take all the cards on the table. If you are wrong, the cards stay there and you give a card to the other players as punishment.

 

Prepositions with reporting verbs storytelling 1

Use the verb cards as you take turns continuing a story, making sure that you use the correct preposition each time.

 

Prepositions with reporting verbs storytelling 2
