This material is intended to review or teach prepositions using the firefly.It's a grammar extension for this unit. Students will learn to describe the basic spatial relationships, such as "in," "on," "under," "next to, "behind," "in front of”. You can teach the irst three and then the others. It depends on your class.  Prepositions are essential for understanding simple directions and following any instruction that you give in class.

 preposition and the fireflies dice game

Assemble a die for a group of three or four students in your class.

Pre-K Insects Prepositions Worksheets

 Print these to play with the die. Students will color the firefly picture corresponding to the preposition on the die. Older students can also say sentences: The firefly is behind the jar!

Another activity is to glue the jar pictures onto plastic cups. Have your die ready. I also glued a craft stick behind the firefly. 

Place a ball of play dough next to the next to cup, behind the behind cup and in front of the in front of cup. This will enable the craft stick to stand and perform the preposition definition.

Students will throw the dice and place the fiefly to replicate what landed on the die: The firefly is behind the jar!
