These Prepositions Activities with a Tree and Kite are part of a complete Garden Unit for Kindergarten English Language Learners, designed to help students understand and use prepositions of place through movement and interaction.  Prepositions can be difficult for young learners because they describe spatial relationships.Using a tree and a kite in a familiar garden setting gives students clear visual support.

Flashcards for Sentence Building

Students don’t just memorize words; they learn how to use them in sentences like using the flashcards:
“The kite is behind the tree.”
“The kite is flying above the tree.”

 Play Flashcard Hunt 

 Place flashcards around the classroom. Students walk around and find the kite based on verbal clues:
“Find the kite next to the tree.”

 Spin & Match with small cards activity 

Print the Spinner with prepositions + set of small cards. A student spins and says the preposition. Then they find and keep a matching picture card showing that preposition.

Color the Spot on the gardening Worksheet. 

Students roll the die and color the kite in the correct position on their worksheet.

Dice and Cutouts for preposition locations

Kindergarten students learn best through movement and play. Teachers can guide students to physically move kites or point to locations around a tree, reinforcing each preposition in a fun and meaningful way.

Students move along a path on the board game 

Each space shows a kite and a preposition. When they land on a spot, they can say a sentence using the preposition.
