A Set of Hands-On Preposition Practice Worksheets
Are you looking for an age-appropriate resource to teach your students about prepositions that also encourages the use of fine motor skills such as cutting and gluing? Look no further than Teach Starter’s preposition practice worksheet pack!
These five cut-and-paste worksheets provide a fun and interactive way for students to practice identifying and using prepositions in sentences.

- Under
- On
- Above
- Behind
- Beside
- And many more!
Answer sheets are also provided in the download.

Differentiation Ideas for This Preposition Practice Worksheet Pack
This preposition practice worksheet pack is perfect for a variety of classroom activities. Here are some ways to make sure all learners’ needs are supported while completing the activity:
- For Emerging Learners – Encourage less confident students to write the correct preposition in the box provided before cutting and pasting. An adult can then check that the correct prepositions have been used before cutting and pasting commences.
- For Advanced Learners – Challenge students to write their own sentences using the prepositions after completing the worksheet. Have them explain their reasoning for each preposition choice in writing or aloud.
- For English Language Learners – Use real-life objects or gestures to demonstrate prepositions before starting the worksheet. Alternatively, provide a visual aid they can refer to during the activity, such as Teach Starter’s Preposition Anchor Chart Pack.
