Students have to pass a ball while
listening to the music. When the music
stops, the person with the ball has to say
the word shown on the picture or the
object which the teacher is showing him
or her. Once, the student speaks up, I will
prompt the rest of the class to repeat the
word already said.
As a whole class. The teacher will place the ball in
different positions: on the backpack, under the
backpack, in the backpack in order to present the
use of the prepositions. Every time the
preposition is mentioned, it has to be written on
the board to make a list of the prepositions of
place for the students to know the new words.
The teacher will ask the students where the ball
is and the whole class has to answer. For
example: Teacher: Where is the ball? Students: It
is under the table.

to share the edited sentences in order to
choose the most outstanding sentences to

their most outstanding sentences, they have to
agree which sentences are the best to describe
the place where the classroom objects are.

Warm up: Game: “Pass the ball”. Students have to pass a ball
while listening to the music. When the music stops, the person
with the ball has to say the word shown on the picture or the
object which the teacher is showing him or her. Once, the

Asking and answering

Writing affirmative
sentences with the
prepositions of place
using the Pic-Tac-Tell
grid.
Students can
express where

20 As a whole class. The teacher will place the ball in different
positions: on the backpack, under the backpack, in the
backpack. The teacher will ask the students where the ball is
and the whole class has to answer. For example: Teacher:
Where is the ball? Students: It is under the table.
As individuals. Students have to place some objects according
to the teacher’s instructions. Ex. The marker is in the pencil
case. The marker is under the pencil case.
20 In pairs, PIC-TAC-TELL strategy. Work with the grid to express
where the objects on the pictures are.
One student takes a card and has to make the question and
answer with the word on the picture. Where is the ruler? It is
under the desk., etc.
To find a partner I will apply the technique Simon says, to
switch positions. I will say Simon says: stand up; simon says:
stretch your arms and legs; Simon says, switch positions; Simon
says, sit down; Simon says, work with your classmate who is
closer to you.
