Freebie Friday: Where is Cupid? A Prepositional Game

February 2, 2012 by Katie Filed Under: Blogging, Freebie Friday, Games, Language Enrichment Activities for Parents, Therapy Ideas and Activities 11 Comments

I know, I know….you came here today for a FREEBIE! So, here you go!

Cupid Collage

 

This week my freebie is a Valentines Themed Game called Where is Cupid. This card game targets prepositions by showing Cupid in different positions around other objects. Here is what the cards look like:


You can use these cards in MANY ways!

  • Using two sets have your child/student match picture to picture
  • Using one set have your child/student label each preposition
  • Using one set have your child/student match opposite prepositions
  • Using one set, hide the cards around the room, turn out the lights, and have your child/student use flashlights to go find and label all the cards.
  • Using two sets play memory or go fish
  • Using one set play memory or go fish by matching/pairing opposite prepositions
  • Using one set, place cards in a pile. Take turns having your child/student pick a card and then demonstrate the preposition in some form (i.e. using manipulatives, pictures, a  barrier game, using their own bodies, etc).

Download your own set for FREE right HERE (Images thanks to Office Images)

Have a FABULOUS weekend!

    Wow! Great freebie! We are working on prepositions at this very time, so these cards will be a fun way to reinforce the preposition word list. Thanks!

    I’m new to the site and not understanding what you mean by having the child “label” the preposition. How would this work for my communication-delayed 4-year-old?
    Thanks.

      Gayle if your child does not yet know the prepositions, you first need to teach him. You can use the cards to teach them, or you can use other methods. Check out Kim’s post over at Little Stories for some great ideas: http://thelittlestories.com/how-to-teach-prepositions/

    […] 5. Where Is It? I don’t know where I originally purchased this game but I just found it at Amazon for under $20. This is a bingo type game that teaches 24 locative concepts. My students always LOVE this simple game! I also will just use the picture cards paired with another game (like Cariboo or Don’t break the Ice). Looking for something similar? I made a set of cards you can download for free: Where is Cupid? A Prepositional Game. […]
