Description
Preposition puzzles are a cross between an ESL picture dictation and a logic puzzle. This one features nine Arctic animals in a wintery landscape. 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, students use prepositions of place and animal vocabulary to solve logic problems. The prepositions are: above, below, between, next to, on, to the left, and to the right. Moveable tokens represent the following animals: fish, fox, goose, orca, owl, polar bear, rabbit, reindeer, and seal. A vocabulary matching activity is included. 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 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 animals and the other must ask questions to guess their locations. Sentence starters are provided. Both versions feature seven levels of play, starting with just three animals and ending with nine. Younger children can succeed at the lower levels, while older ones can challenge themselves to complete all seven!
