Grade 2 Where Is It? Prepositions Worksheet

Student Task

• Use this worksheet after the My Home Vocabulary PowerPoint and both vocabulary worksheets, since it assumes students already know the room and furniture words used in every sentence. Introduce the four prepositions using the Word Box at the top — consider acting each one out physically (put a book "in" a bag, "on" a desk, "under" a chair, "next to" a pencil) before students begin Part A. Part B is the most demanding section; model one example on the board before releasing students to it independently.

Classroom Use

• Play a quick "Simon Says" style game using classroom objects and the four prepositions ("Put your pencil under your book," "Put your hand next to your ear") before starting the worksheet, so students have a physical, embodied sense of each preposition before using it in writing.

Differentiation

SUPPORT: Complete Part A only, with the Word Box definitions visible throughout; skip Part B and Part C or complete them together as a class.
ON-LEVEL: Completes Parts A, B, and C independently.
CHALLENGE: Writes one additional sentence for Part B using a preposition not explicitly requested by the question.

Answer Key & Assessment

Score Part A out of 8. Assess Part B and Part C qualitatively — correct preposition use and a sentence that's actually true of the photo/drawing, not a single fixed answer.

Learning Objectives

• Students will be able to correctly use "in," "on," "under," and "next to" in a fill-in-the-blank sentence.
• Students will be able to produce an original sentence using a specified preposition to describe a real photograph.
• Students will be able to draw and label a scene that correctly illustrates one preposition of their choosing.

Teacher Tips

Part B is intentionally open-ended rather than fill-in-the-blank — accept any grammatically correct sentence that's actually true of the photo. A student who writes "The armchair is next to the sofa" instead of the expected "next to" pairing should still get credit; the goal is correct preposition use, not a single memorized answer.
