Description
Help students strengthen their understanding of prepositional phrases with this Boom Cards activity for upper elementary and middle school students. Students read each sentence, identify the preposition, and determine the noun or pronoun that serves as the object of the preposition. The sentences use varied structures and prepositional phrase placement so students must analyze how the phrase functions rather than rely on position. Several sentences also include adverbs and other words that can act as distractors, helping students distinguish prepositions from other parts of speech. SKILLS STUDENTS WILL PRACTICE ✔️ Identifying prepositions in context ✔️ Identifying the object of a preposition ✔️ Recognizing nouns as objects of prepositions ✔️ Recognizing pronouns as objects of prepositions ✔️ Identifying prepositional phrases in varied sentence positions ✔️ Distinguishing prepositions from adverbs and other parts of speech ✔️ Analyzing sentence structure and word relationships WHAT STUDENTS WILL DO Students read each sentence and identify both the preposition and the object of the preposition.
