Ahoy there matey!! Are you ready to take to the open sea and join the pirates on their preposition expedition? Hold on tight, you're in for quite the ride!
Our pirates' first challenge is to learn and practice their prepositions. Six prepositions are included: above, below, beside, between, behind, and in front. Each preposition includes six different cards to practice. That's 36 total cards! Use them to learn the prepositions, or use them to play memory or Go Fish.
A barrier game is also in the pirates' sights! Two backgrounds are included- the blue ocean water and the deck of the ship. There are two different pages of manipulatives to use on the backgrounds. Use this game as a traditional barrier game or use it as a following directions activity using prepositions, eg. "Put the treasure chest between the palm trees. Put the map above the treasure chest."
Sentence strips are also included. Use the strips to have your students use prepositions in sentences. In addition to the sentences, there is also a word bank. This can be used with the barrier game or by itself as its own activity. Example: "The anchor is below the ship. The pirate flag is between the boy and the girl."
The pirates' next obstacle is listening for prepositions. Three picture mats are included with 6 pictures on each mat. Each picture has two different prepositions. I've included a page of descriptions that you can read to your students and have them choose the correct picture. You can also come up with your own descriptions.
And the pirates' journey ends with 3 pages of carryover practice. The student must match the word to the picture of the preposition.
