Fireflies Prepositions

 This resource is included at Insects Unit for Kindergarten-Holistic English Series #18. Link: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Insects-Unit-for-Kindergarten-Holistic-English-Series-18-6984205

This material is intended to review or teach prepositions using the firefly. 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.

Print the 6 basic preposition and the fireflies flashcards . Each flashcard features a firefly representing a preposition. The written form of the preposition is in bold, easy-to-read text under each illustration.

Play Preposition scavenger hunt. Place the fireflies flashcards around the classroom. Call to a preposition: The firefly is on the jar! Have the students walk around the class aiming to find the corresponding flashcard and bring it back to you.

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

Pre-K Insects WorksheetsPrint 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!


Here is how I used the resource!

Use the jar with the all the other insect cutouts in the complete resource. Check it out:
