Description
Preposition puzzles are a cross between an ESL picture dictation and a logic puzzle. This one features a Christmas bus on a snowy winter day! 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 Christmas vocabulary to solve logic problems. The prepositions are: above, below, between, next to, to the left, and to the right. Moveable tokens represent the following characters: elf, gingerbread man, Mrs. Claus, panda, penguin, polar bear, reindeer, Santa Claus, and snowman. A vocabulary matching activity is provided. In the one-player version, students must read the clues and place the tokens 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 tokens 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 beat the game by completing all seven levels.
