Description
Preposition puzzles are a cross between an ESL picture dictation and a logic puzzle. This one features nine cute farm animals! This digital TPR game can be played by either one or two players. Students read in the first version and speak in the second. In both versions, the students use prepositions of place and animal vocabulary to solve problems of deductive logic. The prepositions are: above, below, between, next to, to the left, and to the right. Moveable figures represent the following animals: cat, chicken, cow, dog, horse, owl, pig, rabbit, and sheep. Students can review this vocabulary with a matching activity before they play the game. In the one-player version, students must read the clues and place the animals on the game board to satisfy the conditions. This version is self-checking, so students get instant feedback. Audio is included to support struggling and emergent readers. In the two-player version, students use their oral communication skills to produce matching versions of the game board. One student arranges the animals and the other must ask questions to guess their locations. Students will enjoy making decisions and working as a team to match their boards. Both the one- and two-player versions feature seven levels of play, progressing from three animals to nine. Younger children can succeed at the lower levels, while older ones can challenge themselves to beat the game by completing all seven levels.
