Game - run to it!!!! Prepositions of time Divide sts into two teams (A and B). Assign each member of the teams a number (e.g., S1, S2). Read out the first sentence without saying the preposition (e.g., “I always get up [BLANK] 6 a.m. on weekdays.”). S1 from each team runs to find the card containing the missing preposition. The first S to reach the correct card gets a point for his or her team. Play the game until you use all the sentences. The team with the most points wins. Variation 1: Use this game to review prepositions of place or time, modals, and auxiliaries (e.g., do, did, have). Variation 2: If sts cannot move freely around the room, they can point to the correct wall.
