Guess Where?
Lesson one of two:
*Read the book, "Guess Where?" which leads to using
many prepositional words while trying to find pictures in
the book. Often times, children use the word "there" to
indicate where items are placed. If your child uses that
global word, model a specific word instead, e.g.,
"The ball is under the table, etc."
*Next the children will listen to the song, "Movement
with a Circle." The students will follow the directions of the
song while listening to the music. Many of the directions
involve prepositions so the children move "in," "out,"
"next to," "in front," and "behind" their own hoop.
*The students will find toys (hippo, tiger, bus, lamb, bee,
rocket, dog bone, fire engine, spider ball, star fish) that are
hidden in the book. When they find the toy, they will label
where they found it using prepositions, e.g., "The hippo is
behind the chair, etc."
Lesson two of two:
*The children will help the teacher read, "Guess Where?"
First children demonstrate understanding of words.
Then, they label them. If the children don't recall the
preposition, an opposite can be given as a cue, e.g.,
"It is not in the box. It is ___ of the box, etc."
*The children will complete an obstacle course by following
verbal directions with prepositional concepts. The children
will go in front, over, under, through, on top, etc.
*The children will look at the book with the teacher. She will
ask them to tell about other pictures using prepositions, e.g.,
"Where is the boy?" "Next to his mom."
