Prepositions Game

To play the game a student just has to read the sentence and then move the matching object to the correct position. The objects can be moved with their a mouse or by touch using a mobile device. A total of 9 scenes are used in this game: front room, bathroom, bedroom, fridge, park, cafe, classroom, TV and office. These were chosen in the hope that they provide real-life context and match situations in which students may actually hear and use prepositions in their daily life. The prepositions used in this game include the following: in, on, under, above, next to, right, left, behind, in front of and between. For each of the 9 scenes there are 12 objects that must be positioned correctly; once this has been done, the student proceeds to the next scene. The scenes get progressively more difficult both in terms of the language and the time allowed. If you think this game is too fast or too difficult for your students' English level, then you can play in 'slow' mode. To play slowly, just click on 'slow' at the title screen, or change the settings by clicking on the button in the game. This game is made in Javascript using the CreateJS framework.
