Language focus

table/chair/bag/cupboard/the teacher/board.

Aim of the game

To create instructions by throwing two cubes and adding the correct preposition. The

opposing team has to carry out the instruction correctly.

Suggestion

The children can make up the cubes for homework.

Introduction

Give the children a seres of instructions and ask them to carry them out. Make sure you

include practice of in and on so that the children understand the difference.

Preparation

Give out a copy of Worksheet 1 and Worksheet 2 to each group of four children. Show

them how to make cubes.

Playing the game

1 Make sure each of the group of four children has both cubes. Divide the groups of

four into two teams of two, Team A and Team B. Write up the following prepositions

on the board for reference: in, on, under.

2 Team A in each group begins by throwing each cube once. They then say a sentence

out loud, using the words they have thrown and adding a preposition (either in, on or

under ) to make a logical and correct instruction, e.g. Put a pen in the cupboard but not

Put a pen in the board. If team B agrees that the instruction is correct, Team A scores a

point. Team B then carries out the instruction. They too score a point if they carry

out the instruction correctly.

3 Team B now throws the cubes and makes a correct sentence, and so on until you stop

the game. The teams count up their points and those with the highest scores in each

group are the winners.

Extra ideas

The text on the cubes can be changed to practice other areas. For example, Numbers

1–10 (Make two cubes both showing numbers between 1 and 10. Check that the pupils

understand plus and minus. Team A throws the cubes and gives Team B a question, e.g.

3+4 or 6–2. Team B must then give the correct answer.) Actions in the past (Make two

cubes, one showing times and the other showing days. Team A throws the cubes and

gives one of the players in Team B a question, e.g. (Friday/9 o’clock.) Team A: What were

you doing on Friday at 9 o’clock? Pupil in Team B: I was watching TV .)
