Description
Preposition puzzles are a cross between an ESL picture dictation and a logic puzzle. This one features a magical gingerbread house! 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 Christmas 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 characters: angel, elf, gingerbread boy, gingerbread girl, penguin, polar bear, reindeer, Santa Claus, and snowman. English learners can review the vocabulary with the matching activity provided. In the one-player version, students read the clues and place the characters 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 characters, and the other must ask questions to guess their locations. Sentence starters are provided. Both versions feature seven levels, progressing from three characters 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.
