Frequently Asked Questions

The Preposition Hop is suitable for students in grades K-5. Use the mat for simple word recognition with younger students. Or, set the mat out for older students who are writing their own sentences and analyzing the grammatical function of prepositions.
Teaching prepositions to elementary students is important because they help children understand and express relationships between words, such as where, when, and how things happen. Understanding prepositions supports clearer communication, stronger reading comprehension, and better spatial awareness.
The Preposition Hop allows educators to add kinesthetic elements to their literacy lesson plans. Physical activity stimulates parts of the brain responsible for comprehension and memory retention, resulting in enhanced learning. Kinesthetic activities also increase student engagement, which further benefits learning.
The Preposition Hop mat engages visual learners with its bright colors and large, easy-to-read words. Tactile and kinesthetic learners get to physically move around the mat while identifying prepositions. Auditory components can easily be incorporated into preposition activities. Instruct students to recite the words or sentences they build aloud.
There are numerous fun ways to teach prepositions with this mat in the classroom! Have students find specific words on the mat to complete sentences. Ask students to toss a bean bag on the mat, hop to the word it landed on, and then use that word in a sentence. Leave the mat out as a reference while students complete a writing assignment using prepositions. The Preposition Hop can be used for both structured and unstructured learning activities.
