Unit 16

Extra Worksheet Notes

PREPOSITION BOARD GAME

Aim: Give Ss practice reviewing prepositional phrases. Preparation: Make one copy of the worksheet and bring dice for every three or four Ss. Comment: Use after the Word Power on page 106.

Ss work in groups of three or four. Give each group a worksheet and dice. Ss can use small objects (e.g., coins or rings) as counters. Explain the game. Ss put their counters on Start. They take turns throwing the dice and moving their counters the indicated number of squares in any direction. Then they complete the sentence Kathy cant come to the phone because shes . . . using the correct preposition and the phrase in the square. If they complete the sentence correctly, they write their initials on the square. Model the game with a group. Ss play the game until all the squares have initials. The S with the most initialed squares wins.
