Preposition Poetry is a fun way for students to practice using prepositions appropriately. Students choose an object from any location they’re familiar with - a store, their house, the school, etc. They write a poem, beginning each line with a preposition, describing the location of their chosen object. The final product is an interactive guessing game for readers to figure out what is being described.
