Pet Detective - Prepositions Game

Make practicing prepositions fun with this amusing language game!

Uses:

• Can be used as a speaking game to practice using the prepositions "in," "on," and "under" in full sentences
• Great for ESL/EFL, but can be used for any foreign/second language learning as all text is editable

How it works:

• Pets are lost in different rooms, it's up to the students to find them.
• In each room, there are 10 different hiding places marked by star icons.
• To guess where a pet is, students make a sentence. For example, "It's under the bed." or "It's in the bag." or "It's on the chair."
• How I've laid the game out, students play in pairs, but feel free to adjust (play as individuals/pairs/teams) based on the number of students in your class.
• When it's their team's turn, one student will ask the question, "Where is my (type of pet)?" and the other will answer with their team's guess, "It's...the..."
• They will switch roles each time it's their team's turn.
• After the student makes a sentence, the teacher will click the star button that matches their answer to reveal if they found the pet, a spider, or nothing.
• If their team finds a pet, they get 3 points, but if they find a spider, they lose 1 point.
• The team with the most points at the end of the game wins!

Format:

This game template has been created as a fun, animated PowerPoint and extra notes on how to play have been provided in the "Notes" sections of each slide. This game is also ready to play as is.
