PREPOSITIONS
(67 WORD TO PRACTICE)
About the Topic: Prepositions
Prepositions are small words that show the relationship between people, things, and places. They help us understand where something is or when something happens. Common prepositions are in, on, under, behind, in front of, between, next to, above, and near.
For example, we say:
The book is on the table.
The cat is under the chair.
The bag is next to the desk.
We also use prepositions for time, such as in the morning, on Monday, and at night. Prepositions make our sentences clear and help us talk about location, direction, and time correctly.
Learning prepositions is very important because we use them every day in English to describe where things are and when things happen.

Benefits of the BoomWords Game
The BoomWords Game is a fun way to practice prepositions. The teacher says the topic “prepositions,” and students take turns saying words like “in,” “on,” “under,” or “behind.” If a student repeats a word or cannot think of one quickly, they are “out.”
This game helps students:
Remember prepositions through repetition and play.
Think and speak faster in English.
Listen carefully to others.
Learn prepositions in a fun, active way.
Teachers can also use pictures during the game — for example, a cat and a box — and ask students to describe where the cat is using prepositions.
Teacher’s Comment
“Students practiced using prepositions very well. They looked at pictures and said sentences like ‘The ball is under the table.’ Everyone took part in the BoomWords game and remembered many prepositions. Great job, class! Keep practicing them in your daily speech.”
Student’s Comment
“I liked learning about prepositions. Now I can say where things are, like ‘My book is on the desk’ and ‘The dog is behind the door.’ The BoomWords game was fun — it helped me remember all the new words!”
