Prepositions (Team Licence)

Our Prepositions Pack provides clear, engaging illustrations to help children understand and use early prepositions:
in, on, under, in front of, behind, between, and next to.

Each preposition is presented in three structured formats to build understanding:

• Object/person or place phrases, where the object or person remains constant but the places change.(e.g., a spider in a shoe, in a glass, in a sink).
• Place an object/person, where the place remains constant but the person/object changes. (e.g., a teddy in a washing machine, a girl in a house, a snake in a sock).
• Object or person/place, where both elements vary.

Each preposition is illustrated with two sets of 16 pictures, providing plenty of opportunities for repetition and reinforcement.

Prepositions are easy to say, easy to sign, and can be introduced through fun, high-interest activities that capture young children’s attention. Example activities include:

• Dropping toy bricks in a bin
• Placing sweeties in a jar
• Hiding toys in a cupboard
• Balancing a toy car on your head
• Making a ‘cheeky’ toy dog jump on the chair

The pack includes full instructions for a variety of activities, making it a versatile resource for both therapy and teaching.
