Download these beginning preposition worksheets to help your children practice prepositions.

This is another free resource from www.freewordwork.com.

I have created these beginning preposition worksheets to help you introduce the concept of prepositions to your students.

These pages are designed for children who are being taught prepositions for the first time.

What are prepositions?

Prepositions are usually short words. They come before a noun or a pronoun.

They describe:

  • when something happens
  • where something is
  • how something is done
  • possession or an item belonging to someone

Here are some examples of how they can be used:

  • I am going to school at 9:00 am.
  • The cat is under the table.
  • We exercised by swimming.
  • I gave the book to my friend.

Want some examples of prepositions your child can practice? Here is a short list – you will also find a printable copy of this list in the PDF you can download below. There are many more prepositions not listed.
