Description
Preposition puzzles are a cross between an ESL picture dictation and a logic puzzle. This one features a magical cast of fairytale characters! 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 fairytale vocabulary to solve problems of deductive logic. The prepositions and prepositional phrases are: above, below, between, next to, to the left, and to the right. Moveable figures represent the following characters: dragon, fairy, frog, king, mermaid, queen, troll, unicorn, and witch. Students can review these words with a matching activity before they play. In the one-player version, students must read the clues and place the figures on the game board to satisfy the conditions. This version is self-checking, so students get instant feedback. Audio is included to support emergent readers. In the two-player version, students use their oral communication skills and work as a team to produce matching versions of the game board. One student arranges the figures and the other asks questions to guess their locations. Sentence starters are provided. Both versions feature seven levels of play, starting with just three characters and ending with nine. Younger children can succeed at the lower levels, while older ones can challenge themselves to complete all seven!
